'S3' object has no attribute 'detect_document_text' (python code)

Question

**'S3' object has no attribute 'detect_document_text'** this error show when try to extract raw text data from invoice document using AWS Textract python function  **detect_document_text** inside AWS Lambda.

Answer

Sounds like you're doing something like this:

```python
s3 = boto3.client("s3")
# maybe some other code here
s3.detect_document_text(...)
```

But you need to create a `textract` client:

```python
textract = boto3.client("textract")
# maybe some other code here
response = textract.detect_document_text(
    Document={
        "S3Object": { "Bucket": "mybucketname", "Name": "my-object-name.jpg" }
    }
)
```

Check out the boto3 documentation for [textract](https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/textract.html), and for [detect_document_text()](https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/textract.html#Textract.Client.detect_document_text) specifically for more info, including the value of the response you'll get back.
