In this chapter, we will build an application that can automatically extract contact information from photos of business cards. With this application, we aim to reduce tedious manual work by using automation. We will use Amazon Rekognition to detect text in the business card photos and then use Amazon Comprehend to extract structured information such as the name, address, and phone number. We will demonstrate that the goal of automation is not always full autonomy; there is some value in keeping the human component in the solution.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Understanding the role of Artificial Intelligence in our workplaces
- Performing information extraction with Amazon Comprehend and Amazon Comprehend Medical
- Storing and retrieving data in AWS DynamoDB
- Building serverless AI applications with AWS...
