Getting Started with Amazon Textract: Process Documents with Synchronous and Asynchronous Operations

Languages Available: Español (Latinoamérica) | Français | Bahasa Indonesia | 日本語 | 한국어 | Português (Brasil) | 中文（简体)

This lab introduces you to workflows designed to showcase the use of the Amazon Textract Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) using Amazon Cloud Development Kit (CDK) constructs. IDP allows for more accurate and detailed text recognition from images by using pre-processing techniques such as filtering, noise reduction, and other image manipulation techniques to improve the quality of the images before they are processed. Amazon Textract is a cloud-based service that automatically extracts text and data from scanned documents. The Amazon Textract IDP CDK Constructs are a set of pre-defined code patterns for using Amazon Textract to identify and redact sensitive information in documents.
