The studio is an online tool to visually explore, understand, train, and integrate features from the Document Intelligence service into your applications. The studio provides a platform for you to experiment with the different Document Intelligence models and sample returned data in an interactive manner without the need to write code. You can use the studio experience to:

  • Learn more about the different capabilities in Document Intelligence.
  • Use your Document Intelligence resource to test models on sample documents or upload your own documents.
  • Experiment with different add-on and preview features to adapt the output to your needs.
  • Train custom classification models to classify documents.
  • Train custom extraction models to extract fields from documents.
  • Get sample code for the language specific SDKs to integrate into your applications.

Important

The studio supports Document Intelligence v3.0 and later API versions for model analysis and custom model training. Previously trained v2.1 models with labeled data are supported, but not v2.1 model training. Refer to the REST API migration guide for detailed information about migrating from v2.1 to v3.0.

Use the Document Intelligence Studio quickstart to get started analyzing documents with document analysis or prebuilt models. Build custom models and reference the models in your applications using one of the language specific SDKs.

Document Intelligence model support

Use the help wizard, labeling interface, training step, and interactive visualizations to understand how each feature works.

  • Read: Try out Document Intelligence's Studio Read feature with sample documents or your own documents and extract text lines, words, detected languages, and handwritten style if detected. To learn more, see Read overview.

  • Layout: Try out Document Intelligence's Studio Layout feature with sample documents or your own documents and extract text, tables, selection marks, and structure information. To learn more, see Layout overview.

  • Prebuilt models: Document Intelligence's prebuilt models enable you to add intelligent document processing to your apps and flows without having to train and build your own models. As an example, start with the Studio Invoice feature. To learn more, see Models overview.

  • Custom extraction models: Document Intelligence's Studio Custom models feature enables you to extract fields and values from models trained with your data, tailored to your forms and documents. To extract data from multiple form types, create standalone custom models or combine two, or more, custom models and create a composed model. Test the custom model with your sample documents and iterate to improve the model. To learn more, see the Custom models overview.

  • Custom classification models: Document classification is a new scenario supported by Document Intelligence. The document classifier API supports classification and splitting scenarios. Train a classification model to identify the different types of documents your application supports. The input file for the classification model can contain multiple documents and classifies each document within an associated page range. To learn more, see custom classification models.

  • Add-on Capabilities: Document Intelligence supports more sophisticated analysis capabilities. These optional capabilities can be enabled and disabled in the studio using the Analyze Options button in each model page. There are four add-on capabilities available: highResolution, formula, font, and barcode extraction capabilities. To learn more, see Add-on capabilities.
