AWS Textract for forms and tables

Textract goes beyond plain OCR: it extracts key-value pairs, tables, and form fields, which makes it a strong fit for invoices, receipts, and structured documents. Plain text extraction is cheaper than its forms/tables/queries features.

Textract pricing and setup

Textract is usage-based per page, with higher rates when you enable forms, tables, or queries. Running it through ExactRead skips the AWS/IAM setup so you can benchmark it against a vision model before committing.

When to use AWS Textract

AWS Textract works well when you need native OCR engine reading for images and PDF. Because document quality varies, ExactRead lets you run AWS Textract on its own or compare it side by side with other OCR routes before you standardize.

Test AWS Textract before you standardize

Document quality varies, so the only reliable way to judge AWS Textract is on your own files. Upload a sample, run AWS Textract here, review the extracted text, and compare it with another OCR model in the same workspace before you commit.

Review and export with evidence

Every AWS Textract result keeps its model, status, confidence, warnings, and structured JSON, so reviewers can see why an output was accepted. Accepted results export as TXT or JSON for downstream workflows.
