It provides both prebuilt models for common document types (receipts, invoices, business cards, ID documents, tax forms) and the ability to train custom models on your own data. The library handles layout extraction (words, selection marks, tables), key-value pair analysis, document classification, and optional add-ons like barcode/QR code detection and formula extraction.\n\nThe package wraps Azure's REST API and requires an active Azure subscription with a Form Recognizer resource. It supports multiple service API versions (2.0, 2.1, 2022-08-31, 2023-07-31), with version 3.3.3 defaulting to 2023-07-31. Authentication is handled via API key or Azure Active Directory credentials. The library is production-stable, actively maintained, and has no reported security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you have an Azure subscription and need to extract structured data from documents at scale. The library is production-stable, actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and integrates cleanly with the broader Azure SDK ecosystem. Install only if you are committed to using Azure's Document Intelligence service; it is not a standalone solution and requires cloud resources and API credentials."},"id":"azure-ai-formrecognizer","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/azure-ai-formrecognizer","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/azure-ai-formrecognizer.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/azure-ai-formrecognizer/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-04-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"azure-ai-formrecognizer","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Microsoft Azure Form Recognizer Client Library for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1897067,"position":3451,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.3.3"}
