November 5, 2020 Off By Naveen Victor

Google is going ‘all-in’ when it comes to cloud computing. Already a market leader in terms of online productivity services like Gmail and Google Drive, the Search giant is taking this a setup further with the introduction of Document AI. The system is meant to help businesses streamline their workflows and documentation tasks.

The cloud based AI service uses machine learning to understand each document, harness that information and convert it into usable data for various functions. As of this moment, Document AI can convert images to text, classify documents as well as analyze and extract entities. This could prove useful to business who are understaffed and overburdened.

Convert images to text
Using Document OCR, Document AI can extract information from scanned images and documents, then convert the content into useable text. This includes handwritten letters, PDF and TIFF files.

Classify documents
You are given the ability to train an AI model to read documents then classify them under your own preselected categories. This takes a load of employees who are tasked with repetitive work of sifting through various documentation folders.

Analyze and extract entities
Document AI can help you recognize entities within documents such as names, company branding, phone numbers, address and various others. Let it know what you want, and the trained AI model will comply.

Google’s Document AI is free to try, but you will need to pay up to experience the full power of its machine learning abilities. The system is mainly catered to businesses that prefer to rely on AI to get more done in a short amount of time.
