AnalyzeExpense - Analyzing Invoices and Receipts

Hello,

Happy to hear that you are interested in Textract Invoice and Receipts API.
Document for invoice and receipts : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/textract/latest/dg/invoices-receipts.html

Amazon Textract does not support asynchronous currently for Analyze expense(check not in above documentation). We have taken note of your request. Various factors affect feature releases, and we are unable to provide specific release times at this point. In the meantime, we would be interested in hearing the details of your use case.

Thanks for your reply.

Case of use
We receive an invoice as a PDF file and we need to extract as much metadata as possible, so the AnalyzeExpense functionality is perfect for us.
The main problem is that PDF files can be multipage and can also be in multiple languages.

Without async functionality we need:

• Transform pdf into image file (each page)
• Send to Api each one (and wait for each response)
• Join all results

The problem with languages other than English is that most of the labels (in the fields of the order lines) are not recognized propertly, is there an option to tell the system which labels or which language to use?
I mean, can I tell the system that the label "Quantity" for me (in this operation) will be "Cantidad"?

Regards
