Microsoft describes Azure Content Understanding prebuilt analyzers and Advanced Contextualization
Overview
Microsoft says its Azure Content Understanding prebuilt analyzers extract structured fields from invoices, tax forms, and identity documents, using a maintained schema and built-in knowledge of each document type.
For supported fields, the analyzers return normalized typed values, confidence scores, and grounding that links each result to its source span, page, and coordinates. Microsoft says the analyzers distinguish similar amounts, such as a requested amount versus another total, and handle locale-aware number and date formats.
Microsoft describes Advanced Contextualization as its newest approach for supported prebuilt analyzers, which it says improves the balance of quality, cost, and latency. Microsoft says it has only just begun enabling Advanced Contextualization for prebuilt solutions and directs users to the Azure Content Understanding What's New page for updates.
