Textract

 Amazon Textract is a machine learning service to extract text, handwriting and data from scanned documents automatically.  It goes beyond simple optical character recognition (OCR) to identify, understand, and extract data from forms and tables.

Last month, AWS made an accuracy enhancement update to the handwriting extraction feature with an improved accuracy of handwritten transcriptions, specifically for numerals, dates, phone numbers, and website address across many documents in finance, healthcare, legal, public sector, and others. Textract now more accurately detects handwriting within documents such as checks, medical forms, travel forms and more.

As part of the AWS Free Usage Tier, you can get started with Amazon Textract for free. New customers can analyze up to 1,000 pages per month using the Detecting Document Text API and up to 100 pages per month using the Analyze Document API.
