AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 690

A company has an Amazon S3 bucket containing images of scanned financial invoices. The company is building an artificial intelligence (Al)-based application on AWS. The company wants the application to identify and read total balance amounts on the invoices.

Which AWS service will meet these requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Amazon Textract is specifically designed to automatically extract text, handwriting, and structured data, such as tables and forms, from scanned documents like invoices. While Amazon Rekognition is used for general image and video analysis, it is not optimized for structured document text extraction. Amazon Forecast is a time-series forecasting service, and Amazon Lex is used for building conversational interfaces, making them incorrect for this use case.
