What do you like best about Amazon Textract?

Calling the Textract API is straightforward, and it has incredible accuracy. I initially needed a tool to extract data from invoices, which was proving tricky, but now AWS fully supports reading from invoices. Great for automating business processes! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Textract?

The API response was a bit difficult to understand and digest at first. Some better documentation to explain this would be highly apprecaited. It can also be quite pricy if you are not careful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Textract solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have an app that lets users design digital forms. With Textract, we can upload the clien'ts paper-based form and turn them into a digital equivalent. This saves us a lot of onboarding time as this is the major bottleneck for our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Textract?

Amazon Textract help a lot in implementation of Robotic Process Automation. Best usage of Amazon Textract is to extract data from physical documents / pdf. Apart from just performing Optical Character Recognition, it extracts key/value pair & table data from it, which basically help a lot in converting physical document into digital. It reduces efforts to perform OCR & Write rules engine to extract meaningful information. Ready to use & no custom training required to start with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Textract?

Sometimes Amazon Textract is not able to identify data in desired format & as of now there is no mechanism to train this service to identify those data. This can be a bottleneck for some situation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Try this service instead of only OCR. Best Service for Robotic Process Automation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Textract?

Amazon with its ground breaking research facilities enabled a marvelous Optical Charector recognition software that is capable of extracting text from documents and forms without hassle. Even though there are free tools like Google Tesseract and MODI suite from Microsoft. These require lot of tweaks and multiple trial and error scenarios to get the desired outcome which in turn requires lot of time and patience to deal with. so the project even might cross deadlines trying to find out the best possible configuration to deal with such free tools, on the other hand Amazon's textract is having built with thousands of free templates to choose from and with the elastic search what amazon claims can store millions of indexed document templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Textract?

Nothing as such but a suggestion though, if its provided free of cost at least for some time then it can enable business users to experience the real power of it and also individual developers can contribute their development to the community thereby improving its abilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amazon Textract:

I recommend everyone to try Amazon Textract before opting for any other paid OCR tools in the market like Abby and Adobe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Textract solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using Textract we can customize things according to our need we can extract the data with an accuracy of upto 100%. This is what had changed the way we use OCR in our projects and our customers are very happy about it, as it also provides them an ability to change things on the go with out much complexity. With Textract we can quickly automate document workflows, enabling you to process millions of document pages with in span of minutes to hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Textract?

Amazon Textract is a powerful cloud based intelligent OCR tool for extracting text from scanned pdfs to handwriteen documents/Images. It uses a unique technique to extract data using machine learning from thousands of invoices, documents and templates present over the internet. This not only elimintates the need of additional hassle in customising stuff when using other OCR tools but also it improves the efficiency of the overall process by reducing time required for development and cost of the overall project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Textract?

Its implementation is some what easy but not that easy as Amazon claims, one has to perform multiple tweaks to get our desired outcome which is common with every other OCR softwares in the market like Abbyy etc. Artificial Intelligence will not work that effectively when using Textract on handwritten documents Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Textract solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have earilier tried other softwares like Abbyy Flexicapture, tesseract and MODI before we finally made use of Textract in our projects. It was quite easy to configure Textract when compared to other tools where we need to create our own template and train the software to work on a document. Thes steps can be minimized when using Textract, However accuracy is not always 100% and your mileage will vary depending upon the type of document you are trying to process like a handwritten receipt or scanned invoice etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
