The Microsoft Identity Document Service makes use of pre-trained ID doc models to extract Key-Value Pairs of invoice-related data making use of Microsoft Cognitive Services. The processing of invoices returns typical information found on invoices, such as Name, Surname, ID Number, and Date. The service also extracts individual line items from the invoice and is presented in table format.
