Extract text from images with Azure Computer Vision 4.0 Read OCR
This post will take you through the newest Read OCR API of Azure Computer Vision, which is used for extracting text from images.
On Thursday afternoon, I had a fascinating time hosting my first community After Party for Microsoft Build, the annual technology event held by Microsoft. Along with Konstantinos Sitistas we presented the latest advancements in the Azure Computer Vision service (Florence model), with demos of the newest features like dense captioning, image retrieval, video summarization and custom models. We also discussed about possible ways to utilize these features to solve problems in various industries.
It looks like everyone had a great time and learned something new!
