Azure AI Document Intelligence is a cloud-based Azure AI service that uses machine-learning models to extract key/value pairs, text, and tables from your documents. In this article, learn how to create a Document Intelligence resource in the Azure portal.

Visit the Azure portal

The Azure portal is a single platform that you can use to create and manage Azure services.

To get started:

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal.

  2. On the Azure home page, select Create a resource.

  3. In the search bar, search for and choose Document Intelligence.

  4. Select Create.

Create a resource

  1. Fill out the Create Form Recognizer fields with the following values:

    • Subscription: Select your current subscription.
    • Resource group: The Azure resource group that contains your resource. You can create a new group or add it to an existing group.
    • Region: Select your local region.
    • Name: Enter a name for your resource. We recommend that you use a descriptive name, for example, YourNameDocumentIntelligence.
    • Pricing tier: The cost of your resource depends on the pricing tier you choose and your usage. For more information, see Pricing details. You can use the free pricing tier (F0) to try the service. You can upgrade later to a paid tier for production.

  2. Select Review + create.

  3. Azure runs a quick validation check. After a few seconds, a green banner appears that says Validation Passed.

  4. After the validation banner appears, select Create.

  5. A new page opens that says Deployment in progress. After a few seconds, a message appears that says Your deployment is complete.

Get endpoint URL and keys

  1. After you receive the message, select Go to resource.

  2. Copy the key and endpoint values from your Document Intelligence resource. Paste the values in a convenient location, such as Notepad. You need the key and endpoint values to connect your application to the Document Intelligence API.

  3. If your overview page doesn't show the keys and endpoint, select Keys and Endpoint on the left pane, and retrieve them there.
