Description

If you’ve ever used an optical character recognition (OCR) program, you know that scanning documents for text can often be hit or miss. If you’re a developer working on an app that's dependent on accurate text scanning, say for an expense report, hit or miss just won’t cut it. In this project-based course, Carlos Rivera shows you how to use Amazon Textract to analyze scanned documents and convert them to text. Textract eliminates the complexity of having to train machine learning models from scratch to perform data capture tasks. And as Carlos points out, the program not only recognizes text, but it also considers the layout of the scanned document. Follow along with Carlos as he creates a serverless expense tracker that reads text from images using Textract, starting with the basic jargon of the program, through project implementation, and then implementing Textract.

Instructor's Courses

Software Development has been my craft for over 2 decades. In recent years, I was introduced to the world of "Infrastructure as Code" and Cloud Computing. I loved it! -- it re-sparked my interest in staying on the cutting edge of technology. Colleagues regard me as a mentor and leader in my areas of expertise and also as the person to call when production servers crash and we need the App back online quickly. My primary skills are: ★ Software Development ( Java, PHP, Python and others ) ★ Cloud Computing Design and Implementation ★ DevOps: Continuous Delivery and Integration Going forward, I see myself helping organizations develop and deploy highly-available, scalable software solutions.
