The Google Doc AI Package enables organizations to extract text from a variety of image and document types using Google’s pre-trained document parsers.

The package has a total of 3 actions – Connect, Extract, and Disconnect.

The extracted document text is returned as an easy-to-read JSON with key-value data for each extracted field.

JSON response received from the API can be parsed using the JSON package which has separate actions for returning a specific node value as well as returning a list of objects should your JSON contain an array.

Use these sample PDF files (see attachment below) to try out the parsers discussed in the video. (GCP). You can use this link to create a service account key on GCP. To create a new processor on Google cloud platform, you can use this link.
