The Start Document Text Detection Job step starts an async text detection job. Amazon Textract is an AWS service that automatically reads and extracts text, data, and tables from documents and images.
A dependency must be created after installing the module for the Step to be used properly.
Considerations
Asynchronous steps (Start Document Analysis Job, Get Document Analysis Job Result, Start Document Text Detection Job, Get Document Text Detection Job Result) can be used for larger multipage documents in the PDF or TIFF format.
Users may need to add a Textract Policy to their AWS user account to authorize access to the API.
