Amazon Textract is a machine learning service that automatically extracts printed text, handwriting, and data from any document or image. Today, we are pleased to announce Custom Queries, a new Amazon Textract feature that enables customers to adapt the Queries feature and improve extraction accuracy for their business-specific documents. Queries is a feature within the Analyze Document API that lets you extract specific pieces of information from documents using natural language questions. Custom Queries allows customers to quickly adapt the Queries feature to meet their business-specific needs without requiring them to have machine learning expertise. View the full article

Amazon Textract is a machine learning service that automatically extracts text, handwriting, and data from any document or image.

Amazon Textract is a fully managed machine learning service that makes it easy to extract text and data from virtually any document. Amazon Textract offers you both synchronous and asynchronous APIs to choose based on the fit for each use case. With the asynchronous APIs, you can retrieve the extracted information using the GetDocumentTextDetection or the GetDocumentAnalysis APIs. Today, we are introducing an additional option to direct the Textract output to your own Amazon S3 buckets. With this new option, you can specify the Amazon S3 bucket name, and also a prefix to be added to the output file. You can still choose to use the Get APIs if you prefer. This new Amazon S3 output option provides you with greater flexibility to integrate Amazon Textract into your broader technical architectures. View the full article

Amazon Textract is a machine learning service that makes it easy to extract printed text, handwriting, and data from virtually any document. Today, we are pleased to announce that Amazon Textract supports encryption of its asynchronous API output stored in your Amazon S3 buckets using your own AWS Key Management Service (KMS) Customer Master Keys (CMKs). With this feature, you have the flexibility to manage which encryption keys are used to protect your data and text extracted by Amazon Textract. For more information on how to accomplish this, please read our newest blog post. View the full article

Amazon Textract, a machine learning service, extracts text and other data from documents as well as tables and forms. Today, we are pleased to announce two new features: Amazon Textract now supports recognition of handwritten text from documents such as healthcare forms, prescriptions, dispute letters, tax documents, income documents, checks, claims, academic papers and many more. You can use the Detect Document Text or Analyze Document APIs to process images or PDF’s of scanned documents and extract both printed text and handwriting making it easy for you to automate almost any scanned document processing. You can also use Amazon Augmented AI (Amazon A2I), another AWS service, which makes it easy to build the workflows for human review of the machine learning predictions. You can log in to the Amazon Textract console to test out the handwriting feature, or check out the new demo by Amazon Machine Learning Hero Mike Chambers. Amazon Textract now supports processing of documents with printed text in Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, and German. You can start sending documents in these languages for text extraction, and Amazon Textract will automatically detect and extract the information for you. View the full article

Amazon Textract is a machine learning service that enables you to automatically extract text and data, including from tables and forms within scanned documents and images. As a managed service, Textract delivers continuous improvements over time. Today, we are pleased to announce that we delivered enhancements to the underlying machine learning models resulting in a decrease of 20% in average latency when calling both the synchronous and asynchronous APIs. These improvements apply to the DetectDocumentText API and AnalyzeDocument APIs. View the full article

Amazon Textract is now available in the Asia Pacific (Seoul) and Canada (Central) regions. Amazon Textract is a service that automatically extracts text and data from scanned documents.
