Amazon Textract extracts printed text, handwriting, tables and key‑value pairs and adds two new APIs (Analyze Expense, Analyze ID) plus a natural‑language Queries feature to return question/answer pairs. Customers like Black Knight automate mortgage docs and Anthem processes thousands of claims per day achieving ~80% automation (aiming for >90%). Demo builds a CloudFormation/Step Functions pipeline that runs Textract + Comprehend, processes 170 uploads and outputs 5,800+ extracted data points into a database within minutes, reliably pulling values like pay‑stub gross pay and borrower SSNs without custom templates.
