# Use `DetectDocumentText` with an AWS SDK or CLI
<a name="textract_example_textract_DetectDocumentText_section"></a>

The following code examples show how to use `DetectDocumentText`.

------
#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To detect text in a document**  
The following `detect-document-text` The following example shows how to detect text in a document.  
Linux/macOS:  

```
aws textract detect-document-text \
    --document '{"S3Object":{"Bucket":"bucket","Name":"document"}}'
```
Windows:  

```
aws textract detect-document-text \
    --document "{\"S3Object\":{\"Bucket\":\"bucket\",\"Name\":\"document\"}}" \
    --region region-name
```
Output:  

```
