About this guide
Scenario
In this guide you’ll use Azure AI service to explore the optical character recognition capabilities of Azure AI Vision. You’ll use Vision Studio to experiment with extracting text from images, without having to write any code.
A common computer vision challenge is to detect and interpret text embedded within an image. This is known as optical character recognition (OCR). In this guide you’ll use an Azure AI services resource, which includes Azure AI Vision services. You’ll then use Vision Studio to try out OCR with different types of images.
