Form Recognizer cyrillic text in scanned document

Vladimir Mushkin 6

Hello.
I tried to use Form Recognizer from MS Azure - it is very good for me, except one thing, if using scanned PDF Cyrillic language is recognized as a Latin character sets ad it makes the output unusable. I was thinking about using this Cloud Service in my company but really need support with Cyrillic Characters

Hi. I got some scanned documents and all the structure is OK but they are in Russian... So the output is a mix of a latin and cyrillic characters. This is very sad for me as I found this service really incredible for my purposes. I can easily parse non-scanned - programatically created PDF documents without cloud services, but I have this problem with images. Is there any kind of solution? Can you suggest anything? Maybe I can use some options for my C# client?

@Vladimir Mushkin Thanks for the update. The Computer Vision Read API is Azure's latest OCR technology (learn what's new) that extracts printed text (in several languages), handwritten text (English only), digits, and currency symbols from images and multi-page PDF documents.
