Document Classification

Document Classification can be used to classify a document.

Document Understanding provides a list of possible document types for the analyzed document. Each document type has a confidence score. The confidence score is a decimal number. Scores closer to 1 indicate a higher confidence in the extracted text, while lower scores indicate lower confidence score. The range of the confidence score for each label is between 0 to 1. The list of possible document types is:
  • Invoice
  • Receipt
  • Resume or CV
  • Tax form
  • Driver's license
  • Passport
  • Bank statement
  • Check
  • Payslip
  • Other
Supported features are:
