The core functionality of Document Information Extraction is to automatically extract structured information from documents using machine learning. The service supports extraction from the following standard document types out of the box: invoices, payment advices and purchase orders.
You can also use the Schema Configuration and Template features to extract information from custom documents that are different from the standard document types. You can customize the information extracted from custom document types by creating a custom schema and adding the specific information that you have in your documents.
In this tutorial, we’ll use power of attorney documents as an example of a custom document type that is not supported by Document Information Extraction out of the box. A power of attorney document is a legal instrument authorizing one to act as the attorney or agent for another person in specified or all legal or financial matters.
