About Azure AI Vision v3.2 GA Read

Looking for the most recent Azure AI Vision v3.2 GA Read? All future Read OCR enhancements are part of the two services listed previously. There are no further updates to the Azure AI Vision v3.2. For more information, see Call the Azure AI Vision 3.2 GA Read API and Quickstart: Azure AI Vision v3.2 GA Read.

Get started with the Azure AI Vision Read REST API or client libraries. The Read API provides you with AI algorithms for extracting text from images and returning it as structured strings. Follow these steps to install a package to your application and try out the sample code for basic tasks.

Use the optical character recognition (OCR) client library to read printed and handwritten text from an image. The OCR service can read visible text in an image and convert it to a character stream. For more information on text recognition, see the OCR overview. The code in this section uses the latest Azure AI Vision package.

Tip

You can also extract text from a local image. See the ComputerVisionClient methods, such as ReadInStreamAsync. Or, see the sample code on GitHub for scenarios involving local images.

Prerequisites

  • An Azure subscription - Create one for free.
  • The Visual Studio IDE or current version of .NET Core.
  • An Azure AI Vision resource. You can use the free pricing tier (F0) to try the service, and upgrade later to a paid tier for production.
  • The key and endpoint from the resource you create to connect your application to the Azure AI Vision service.
    1. After your Azure Vision resource deploys, select Go to resource.
    2. In the left navigation menu, select Keys and Endpoint.
    3. Copy one of the keys and the Endpoint for use later in the quickstart.

Create environment variables

In this example, write your credentials to environment variables on the local machine that runs the application.

Go to the Azure portal. If the resource you created in the Prerequisites section deployed successfully, select Go to resource under Next Steps. You can find your key and endpoint under Resource Management in the Keys and Endpoint page. Your resource key isn't the same as your Azure subscription ID.

To set the environment variable for your key and endpoint, open a console window and follow the instructions for your operating system and development environment.

  • To set the VISION_KEY environment variable, replace <your_key> with one of the keys for your resource.
  • To set the VISION_ENDPOINT environment variable, replace <your_endpoint> with the endpoint for your resource.

Important

If you use an API key, store it securely somewhere else, such as in Azure Key Vault. Don't include the API key directly in your code, and never post it publicly.

For more information about AI services security, see Authenticate requests to Azure AI services.

setx VISION_KEY <your_key>

setx VISION_ENDPOINT <your_endpoint>

After you add the environment variables, you may need to restart any running programs that will read the environment variables, including the console window.

Read printed and handwritten text

        // Add your Computer Vision key and endpoint
        static string key = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("VISION_KEY");
        static string endpoint = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("VISION_ENDPOINT");

        private const string READ_TEXT_URL_IMAGE = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure-Samples/cognitive-services-sample-data-files/master/ComputerVision/Images/printed_text.jpg";

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Azure Cognitive Services Computer Vision - .NET quickstart example");
            Console.WriteLine();

            ComputerVisionClient client = Authenticate(endpoint, key);

            // Extract text (OCR) from a URL image using the Read API
            ReadFileUrl(client, READ_TEXT_URL_IMAGE).Wait();
        }

        public static ComputerVisionClient Authenticate(string endpoint, string key)
        {
            ComputerVisionClient client =
              new ComputerVisionClient(new ApiKeyServiceClientCredentials(key))
              { Endpoint = endpoint };
            return client;
        }

        public static async Task ReadFileUrl(ComputerVisionClient client, string urlFile)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("----------------------------------------------------------");
            Console.WriteLine("READ FILE FROM URL");
            Console.WriteLine();

            // Read text from URL
            var textHeaders = await client.ReadAsync(urlFile);
            // After the request, get the operation location (operation ID)
            string operationLocation = textHeaders.OperationLocation;
            Thread.Sleep(2000);

            // Retrieve the URI where the extracted text will be stored from the Operation-Location header.
            // We only need the ID and not the full URL
            const int numberOfCharsInOperationId = 36;
            string operationId = operationLocation.Substring(operationLocation.Length - numberOfCharsInOperationId);

            // Extract the text
            ReadOperationResult results;
            Console.WriteLine($"Extracting text from URL file {Path.GetFileName(urlFile)}...");
            Console.WriteLine();
            do
            {
                results = await client.GetReadResultAsync(Guid.Parse(operationId));
            }
            while ((results.Status == OperationStatusCodes.Running ||
                results.Status == OperationStatusCodes.NotStarted));

            // Display the found text.
            Console.WriteLine();
            var textUrlFileResults = results.AnalyzeResult.ReadResults;
            foreach (ReadResult page in textUrlFileResults)
            {
                foreach (Line line in page.Lines)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(line.Text);
                }
            }
            Console.WriteLine();
        }

    }
}

  3. As an optional step, see Determine how to process the data. For example, to explicitly specify the latest GA model, edit the ReadAsync call as shown. Skip the parameter or use "latest" to use the most recent GA model.

      // Read text from URL with a specific model version
  var textHeaders = await client.ReadAsync(urlFile,null,null,"2022-04-30");

  4. Run the application.

Clean up resources

If you want to clean up and remove an Azure AI services subscription, you can delete the resource or resource group. Deleting the resource group also deletes any other resources associated with it.

Next steps

In this quickstart, you learned how to install the OCR client library and use the Read API. Next, learn more about the Read API features.

Call the Read API

Use the optical character recognition (OCR) REST API to read printed and handwritten text.

Note

This quickstart uses cURL commands to call the REST API. You can also call the REST API using a programming language. See the GitHub samples for examples in C#, Python, Java, and JavaScript.

Prerequisites

  • An Azure subscription - Create one for free.
  • cURL installed.
  • An Azure AI Vision resource. You can use the free pricing tier (F0) to try the service, and upgrade later to a paid tier for production.
  • The key and endpoint from the resource you create to connect your application to the Azure AI Vision service.
    1. After your Azure Vision resource deploys, select Go to resource.
    2. In the left navigation menu, select Keys and Endpoint.
    3. Copy one of the keys and the Endpoint for use later in the quickstart.

Read printed and handwritten text

The optical character recognition (OCR) service can extract visible text in an image or document and convert it to a character stream. For more information on text extraction, see the OCR overview.

Call the Read API

To create and run the sample, do the following steps:

  1. Copy the following command into a text editor.

  2. Make the following changes in the command where needed:

    1. Replace the value of <key> with your key.
    2. Replace the first part of the request URL (https://westcentralus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/) with the text in your own endpoint URL.

      Note

      New resources created after July 1, 2019, will use custom subdomain names. For more information and a complete list of regional endpoints, see Custom subdomain names for Azure AI services.

    3. Optionally, change the image URL in the request body (https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/media/quickstarts/presentation.png) to the URL of a different image to be analyzed.

  3. Open a command prompt window.

  4. Paste the command from the text editor into the command prompt window, and then run the command.

curl -v -X POST "https://westcentralus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/vision/v3.2/read/analyze" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: <subscription key>" --data-ascii "{'url':'https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/media/quickstarts/presentation.png'}"

The response includes an Operation-Location header, whose value is a unique URL. You use this URL to query the results of the Read operation. The URL expires in 48 hours.

Optionally, specify the model version

As an optional step, see Determine how to process the data. For example, to explicitly specify the latest GA model, use model-version=2022-04-30 as the parameter. Skipping the parameter or using model-version=latest automatically uses the most recent GA model.

curl -v -X POST "https://westcentralus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/vision/v3.2/read/analyze?model-version=2022-04-30" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: <subscription key>" --data-ascii "{'url':'https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/media/quickstarts/presentation.png'}"

Get Read results

  1. Copy the following command into your text editor.

  2. Replace the URL with the Operation-Location value you copied in the previous procedure.

  3. Replace the value of <key> with your key.

  4. Open a console window.

  5. Paste the command from the text editor into the console window, and then run the command.

    curl -v -X GET "https://westcentralus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/vision/v3.2/read/analyzeResults/{operationId}" -H "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: {key}" --data-ascii "{body}"

Examine the response

A successful response is returned in JSON. The sample application parses and displays a successful response in the console window, similar to the following example:
