Azure AI Document Intelligence is a cloud-based service that leverages advanced machine learning to extract text, key-value pairs, tables, and structures from documents automatically and accurately. This service is designed to turn documents into usable data, allowing you to focus on acting on information rather than compiling it.

Key Features

1. Text Extraction: Extracts text from various types of documents, including forms, receipts, invoices, and cards.

2. Prebuilt Models: Offers prebuilt models for common document types, such as invoices, receipts, and tax forms.

3. Custom Models: Allows you to create custom models tailored to your specific document types and needs.

4. Flexible Deployment: Can be deployed in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge with container support.

5. Security: Provides enterprise-grade security and privacy for your data and trained models.

How to Use Azure AI Document Intelligence

You can use Azure AI Document Intelligence through the AI Document Intelligence Studio or SDK. Here' a basic example of how to use the API to extract text from a document:

Example:

import requests

subscription_key = "your_subscription_key"
endpoint = "https://your_endpoint.cognitiveservices.azure.com/"
document_url = "https://example.com/document.pdf"
headers = {"Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key": subscription_key}
data = {"url": document_url}

response = requests.post(endpoint + "vision/v3.2/read/analyze", headers=headers, json=data)
result = response.json()

# Extract text from the result
for read_result in result["analyzeResult"]["readResults"]:
    for line in read_result["lines"]:
        print(line["text"])

Benefits
