Azure AI Content Understanding SDK for Python. Connects to Azure's multimodal AI service to extract structured content from documents, images, audio, and video. Returns markdown, transcripts, key frames, and typed fields via a polling-based async API.
Handles the full parse-poll-extract cycle across four media types in one SDK, so you don't need separate libraries for documents, audio, and video.
When to use it
- Converting scanned PDFs to markdown for RAG pipelines
- Transcribing recorded meetings with per-phrase timestamps
- Pulling invoice fields like vendor name and line items from uploaded files
- Extracting key frames and summaries from product demo videos
- Running image content extraction across a batch of screenshots
