Intelligent Document Recognition FAQ
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform, offering over 165 fully featured services from data centers globally. Millions of customers—including the fastest-growing startups, largest enterprises, and leading government agencies—trust AWS to power their infrastructure, become more agile, and lower costs.
Many companies today extract data from scanned documents, such as PDFs, tables, and forms through manual data entry (that is slow, expensive and prone to errors), or through simple OCR software that requires manual configuration which needs to be updated each time the form changes to be usable. To overcome these manual processes, a service like Textract uses machine learning to instantly read and process any type of document, accurately extracting printed text, handwriting, forms, tables and, other data without the need for any manual effort or custom code.
Once you capture information with text extraction, you can take action on it within your business applications - for example - to initiate next steps for insurance claims, customer applications, citizen correspondence, enrollment forms, or medical claims processing or any scanned data where you can use intelligent document recognition capture.
