Data Extraction with Azure Document Intelligence

Organizations handle millions of unstructured documents daily, losing valuable time to manual data entry. This text-based course guides you through automating document analysis using cloud-based artificial intelligence. You will learn how to transform unstructured PDFs, forms, and images into structured, actionable data for business applications. Understand the foundational concepts of optical character recognition (OCR) and document layout analysis. Extract structured tables, selection marks, and text using prebuilt models. Train custom models to recognize and process unique, industry-specific business forms. Apply modern security, governance, and data privacy practices to protect sensitive information during processing. Integrate extracted document data with downstream applications and modern Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. Practice designing automated workflows through written scenarios and structured configuration examples. The course starts with essential terminology and basic cloud concepts before moving step-by-step through model configuration, custom training, and integration. This course is designed for beginners, data analysts, and software developers looking to automate document workflows, with no prior machine learning experience required.
