Getting Started with Amazon Textract - AWS
Amazon Textract is a machine learning (ML) service that automatically extracts text, handwriting, and data from scanned documents and goes beyond optical character recognition (OCR) to identify, understand, and extract data from forms and tables. In this Getting Started course, you will learn about the benefits, features, typical use cases, technical concepts, and costs of Amazon Textract. You will review an architecture for a text-extraction solution using Amazon Textract that you can further adapt to your use case. Through a guided tutorial consisting of a narrated video, step-by-step instructions, and transcript, you will also try the service in your own Amazon Web Services (AWS) account. In lieu of using your own account, you can become an AWS Skill Builder subscriber to unlock all our hands-on, interactive content, including unlimited access to 125-plus AWS Builder Labs.
