AWS offers two services that can help you implement OCR in your business:
Amazon Textract is a machine learning (ML) service that uses OCR to automatically extract text, handwriting, and data from scanned documents such as PDFs. It can read thousands of different documents in multiple layouts and formats at high speed. When it extracts information from documents, Amazon Textract returns a confidence score for everything it identifies so that you can make informed decisions about how you want to use the results.
Amazon Rekognition can analyze millions of images and videos within minutes and augment human visual review tasks with artificial intelligence. You can use Amazon Rekognition APIs to extract text from both images and videos. You can extract skewed and distorted text from images and videos of street signs, social media posts, and product packaging.
