Introduction
Azure AI Document Intelligence is a cloud-based service that uses machine learning to automatically read data and information from images and PDFs. The Document Intelligence service enables you to build intelligent document processing solutions. You can use a prebuilt domain-specific model or train a custom model tailored to your specific business need and use cases.
Document Intelligence can be integrated into applications via programming language SDKs or the REST API. You can also enhance existing workflows with unstructured data from paper-based or digital document images. Historically, this functionality required manual extraction or custom machine learning systems.
Document Intelligence can be tailored to specific content using custom forms or by inputting data using built-in templates allowing for secure and accurate data extraction. Document Intelligence enables your organization to effectively manage the velocity at which data is collected and processed and is key to improved operations, informed data-driven decisions, and enlightened innovation.
