Introduction
The previous beta version of Document Information Extraction (DOX) UI and its components are now GA. Both Document Information Extraction (DOX) and Document Information Extraction UI are now available on EU10, EU11, JP10, and US10, while Trial is currently available on EU10 and US10 only.
This Document Information Extraction UI is a very handy tool for visualizing machine learning extracted header fields and line items of your uploaded pdf documents.
The good thing here there is NO additional pricing - if you already have an active Document Information Extraction (API) service instance, you can get this Document Information Extraction UI application for FREE!
If you are new to Document Information Extraction, you can check out my previous DOX service intro blog post here; I would also recommend you to check out the official help documentation here.
