Azure Form Recognizer
Azure Form Recognizer is a cloud-based AI service from Microsoft that uses machine learning to extract text, key-value pairs, tables, and structure from documents. It automates data entry by analyzing forms, invoices, receipts, and other documents, converting unstructured data into structured, usable information. The service supports prebuilt models for common document types and allows custom model training for specific business needs.
Developers should use Azure Form Recognizer when building applications that require automated document processing, such as invoice automation, receipt analysis, or form digitization in industries like finance, healthcare, and logistics. It reduces manual data entry errors and saves time by integrating with Azure services for scalable, secure document analysis in cloud-based or hybrid environments.
