|
3 |
| -- **Azure AI Vision** includes an *image analysis* capability that supports *optical character recognition* (OCR). Consider using Azure AI Vision in the following scenarios: |
4 |
| - - **Text location and extraction from scanned documents**: Azure AI Vision is a great solution for general, unstructured documents that have been scanned as images. For example, reading text in labels, menus, or business cards. |
5 |
| - - **Finding and reading text in photographs**: Examples include photo's that include street signs and store names. |
6 |
| - - **Digital asset management (DAM)**: Azure AI Vision includes functionality for analyzing images beyond extracting text; including object detection, describing or categorizing an image, generating smart-cropped thumbnails and more. These capabilities make it a useful service when you need to catalog, index, or analyze large volumes of digital image-based content. |
7 |
| -- **Azure AI Document Intelligence** is a service that you can use to extract information from complex digital documents. Azure AI Document Intelligence is designed for extracting text, key-value pairs, tables, and structures from documents automatically and accurately. Key considerations for choosing Azure AI Document Intelligence include: |
8 |
| - - **Form Processing**: Azure AI Document Intelligence is specifically designed to extract data from forms, invoices, receipts, and other structured documents. |
9 |
| - - **Prebuilt Models**: Azure AI Document Intelligence provides prebuilt models for common document types to reduce complexity and integrate into workflows or applications. |
10 |
| - - **Custom Models**: Creating custom models tailored to your specific documents, makes Azure AI Document Intelligence a flexible solution that can be used in many business scenarios. |
11 |
| -- **Azure AI Content Understanding** is a service that you can use to analyze and extract information from multiple kinds of content; including documents, images, audio streams, and video. It is suitable for: |
12 |
| - - **Multimodal content extraction**: Extracting content and structured fields from documents, forms, audio, video, and images. |
13 |
| - - **Custom content analysis scenarios**: Support for customizable analyzers enables you to extract specific content or fields tailored to business needs. |
