Quick Info
AWS Textract is a fully managed machine learning service by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that automates the extraction of text and data from scanned documents. It goes beyond simple Optical Character Recognition (OCR) by intelligently identifying and extracting information from forms and tables, understanding the context of the data. This allows businesses to automate document processing workflows, significantly reduce manual data entry, and improve the accuracy of data capture from various document types like invoices, receipts, and legal documents. Textract is highly scalable, requires no machine learning expertise, and integrates seamlessly with other AWS services, operating on a pay-as-you-go model.
