Using Amazon Comprehend for accurate data extraction

Amazon Comprehend is a fully managed AWS AI service with pre-trained Machine Learning (ML) models for accurate data extraction and to derive insights from your documents. It is a managed solution, which means you call Amazon Comprehend’s API and pass in your input, and you will get a response back. Amazon Comprehend uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) to extract meaningful information about the content of unstructured, dense, text content. To use Comprehend, no ML experience is required. You can call its Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to leverage the pre-trained ML model behind the scenes. Amazon Comprehend provides APIs that you can call through the serverless environment without the need to manage any kind of infrastructure. Once the document content is extracted, you can proceed with the subsequent stages of the IDP pipeline as required by your business.
