Then, we’ll create a Document Intelligence resource, and use it to analyze documents. We’ll use the general-purpose read and layout models, before looking at prebuilt models such as the invoice model .After that, we’ll analyze the data using Python and C#. We connect to the Document Intelligence resource and analyse documents both on the Internet and on our computer, extracting paragraphs, tables, key value pairs, and more.Finally, we’ll create our own custom extraction model. We’ll upload documents into an Azure Storage Account container, train the model based on selected fields, and test it using the portal, Python and C#.There are several practice activities throughout the course, so you can be sure that you are learning.By the end of the course, you’ll be able to analyse your own documents in the portal and using Python and C#, and perhaps even take the official Microsoft assessment. That would look great on your CV or resume.
