AWS Textract

Analyze Document

Extract text, forms (key-value pairs), tables, and signatures from a document. Supports JPEG and PNG via direct upload; PDF and TIFF via S3 only. For multi-page PDFs, use Start Document Analysis instead.

Detect Document Text

Extract plain text from a document. Faster and cheaper than Analyze Document — use this when you only need the text content without forms or tables. Supports JPEG and PNG via direct upload; PDF and TIFF via S3 only.

Analyze Expense

Extract structured data from receipts and invoices: vendor name, totals, tax, line items, and more. Works best with clearly formatted receipts and invoices.

Analyze ID Document

Extract structured data from identity documents such as driver's licenses and passports. Returns fields like name, date of birth, ID number, and expiry date.

Analyze Document from S3 (Multi-Page)

Extract text, forms, tables, and signatures from a PDF or TIFF stored in S3. Works with both single-page and multi-page documents. This action waits for processing to finish and returns all results automatically — no extra steps needed.
