Azure AI Document Intelligence (Form Recognizer) SDK for Java lets you extract structured data from documents using prebuilt models for receipts, invoices, IDs, and tax forms, or custom models you train on your own data. It handles layout extraction, key-value pairs, tables, and document classification.
Prebuilt models cover common document types out of the box, so you skip training data collection and model tuning for standard formats like receipts and invoices.
When to use it
- Parsing invoice PDFs to pull vendor name, line items, and totals into a database
- Extracting fields from scanned W2 forms during payroll processing
- Reading table data from multi-page contract PDFs without manual copy-paste
- Training a custom model to recognize a company-specific purchase order format
- Classifying incoming document batches as invoices, receipts, or contracts before routing
