Terms in this definition
- Azure Content Understanding in Foundry Tools
Foundry Tool whose generative AI analyzers turn documents, images, audio and video into structured fields by extracting, classifying or generating values.
- Metadata
Describes data rather than being the data itself, for instance how a file is laid out or what rows each chunk contains, so tools can read things efficiently.
- OCR
Optical character recognition. It reads handwritten or printed text from documents and images, making it available for analysis, something Azure Language cannot do with scanned images by itself.
