Extracting data from image using Azure computer vision

Hi, Please suggest if there is a way we can read image left to right and top and bottom with Azure OCR and get result as a single string.
We currently get results from image as Json, however if we have to extract values of certain fields from image present as key - Value on image, will we have to write that logic to parse response accordingly?

If we get result as a string (left to right and top to bottom in sequence), we can easily pick up values with keywords.

    @Mayank Goyal Thanks for the question. Take a look at the Form Recognizer service for extracting data.
    https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-services/form-recognizer/
    Note that Form Recognizer is great if you want to extract not just text, but layout insights such as tables, check-boxes, and key value pairs from forms, use pre-built models, and build custom models to process your documents. It's now in GA.
