Build a Web App to Extract Data from Invoices Using Azure AI Document Intelligence

In the current digital world, a lot of data is generated and is present in unstructured format. Some common examples of data in such format can be data lying in documents such as invoices, receipts, and contracts. This makes it difficult to derive insights from such data easily. Extracting data from such sources can be time-consuming, resource intensive, and error prone. With Azure AI Document Intelligence, we can extract data from these documents in an automated manner by leveraging prebuilt or custom models. As part of this chapter, we are going to briefly discuss about the Azure AI Document Intelligence service and its use cases and build an invoice data extractor by leveraging its client SDKs.
