Introducing Document Understanding Solution

Posted on: Nov 4, 2020

Document Understanding Solution is a new AWS Solutions Implementation that provides an easy-to-use web application that extracts text from documents, identifies structural data (tables, key value pairs), extracts critical information (entities), and creates smart search indexes from the data. Additionally, files can be uploaded directly to and analyzed files can be accessed from your AWS account. Part of the Intelligent Document Processing services offered from AWS, this solution uses AWS artificial intelligence (AI) services to solve business problems that apply to various industry verticals:

  • Search and discovery: Search information across multiple scanned documents, PDFs, and images
  • Compliance: Redact information from documents
  • Workflow automation: Easily plugs into your existing upstream and downstream applications

Organizations can use Document Understanding Solution to digitize and store customer feedback and request forms, and a finance department can convert invoice and balance sheets into consumable CSV files. Hospitals can use this solution to extract medical entities, for example, medical conditions, medications, and protected health information (PHI) from documents. Using the redaction controls, a law firm can redact dates and references to people and locations from a document before sharing it with external parties.
