Azure AI Document Intelligence

Accelerate information extraction from documents.
Overview

Quickly extract text and structure from documents

AI Document Intelligence is an AI service that applies advanced machine learning to extract text, key-value pairs, tables, and structures from documents automatically and accurately. Turn documents into usable data and shift your focus to acting on information rather than compiling it. Start with prebuilt models or create custom models tailored to your documents both on-premises and in the cloud with the AI Document Intelligence studio or SDK.
  • Learn how to accelerate your business processes by automating text extraction with AI Document Intelligence. This webinar features hands-on demos for key use cases such as document processing, knowledge mining, and industry-specific AI model customization.
  • Accurately extract text, key-value pairs, and tables from documents, forms, receipts, invoices, and cards of various types without manual labeling by document type, intensive coding, or maintenance. Use AI Document Intelligence custom forms, prebuilt, and layout APIs to extract information from your documents in an organized manner.

  • When you're working with documents that deviate from traditional formats, like industry-specific materials, you often need to build your own solution. The custom extraction capabilities in AI Document Intelligence help you overcome this challenge by training on your own data based on just five documents. Not only is the first output more reliable and tailored to your needs, but it also allows you to provide human input to create a highly accurate model customized to your forms.

  • Recognize forms at the edge, on-premises, and in the cloud with container support in Azure AI Services. The portable architecture can be deployed directly to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) or Azure Container Instances, or to a Kubernetes cluster deployed to Azure Stack. Use the REST interface of the AI Document Intelligence API to then integrate into Azure Applied AI search indexes, automate business processes, and create custom workflows for your business.

Frequently asked questions

  • Check Azure AI Document Intelligence availability.
  • It supports printed and handwritten forms, PDFs, and images.
  • Azure AI Document Intelligence supports multiple languages including English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
  • The custom option uses five samples to learn the structure of your documents and intelligently extract text and data tailored to them. The prebuilt option doesn't use samples—the model has already been trained and is ready to use off the shelf to extract key fields from specific document types.
  • Layout extracts text using high-definition optical character recognition (OCR) tailored for documents. It also extracts the structures of tables (row and column numbers), selection marks and more.
