Automate document processing and extract accurate insights
Companies spend significant time and effort manually or digitally pre-processing documents to make them usable for their applications. Documents have different formats, types, and layouts, making this a time-consuming, error-prone, and costly process. Teams might not have the machine learning (ML) expertise to automate intelligent document processing, but they want a simple and efficient solution that can scale with business requirements and provide accurate results.
Amazon Comprehend helps you automate document processing with no prior ML experience required. Use the classification and extraction capabilities to rapidly process a variety of document types and accurately extract insights to inform your business decisions. Access capabilities to detect and protect sensitive data and help meet compliance requirements.

Use a single API for processing both text and semi-structured documents that are digital or scanned. Access on-demand and batch processing support for document types such as PDF, Docx, JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and plaintext UTF-8.
Model customization
Build custom models to accurately catch your domain-specific document categories (such as W2s and auto and home insurance claims) and terminology (such as names, acronyms, product codes, and order types) for your use case or industry. Use dedicated ML models and endpoints built with your data, that only you create and access.
Accuracy control
Improve document processing outcomes with a combination of optical character recognition (OCR) and natural language processing (NLP). Use additional datasets at training time to increase accuracy of classification and entity recognition.
A single step to insights and model management
