Text is everywhere! Text is not always where we want it, or in the format we need. We often find ourselves needing the text from images. You might have a scanned document containing financial information like an invoice you want to input into an accounts system, or maybe you are building an archive of photographs that you want to index against any text detected? Whatever your use case, if you need to get some text from an image, you can achieve this with ease in Delphi programming software using Amazon Textract using the latest version of Appercept AWS SDK for Delphi.
What is Amazon Textract and what does it do?
Amazon Textract provides text detection and analysis for image documents. Textract can analyse the relationships between detected text objects and provide information relating to forms, financial, and identity documents.

Is there an example of using Amazon Textract?
