Amazon Textract is a managed machine learning service that automatically extracts text, handwriting, and data from scanned documents. We regularly improve the accuracy of the underlying machine learning models and add new features based on customer feedback. Today, we are pleased to announce accuracy enhancements for the AnalyzeDocument - Forms feature to help customers automate their document processing workflows.
The new forms feature update improves data extraction accuracy for standardized documents with consistent layouts like select CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid) healthcare and IRS tax forms. Customers in industries such as insurance, healthcare, and banking who utilize these documents in their business processes will automatically see the benefits of this update when they use Textract’s Forms extraction feature.
This update will be available in US East (Ohio, N. Virginia), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Paris), and the AWS GovCloud (US-East, US-West) Regions.
To get started, log on to the Amazon Textract console to try out the new features. To learn more about Textract capabilities, please visit the Amazon Textract website, developer guide, or resources page.
