Tutorials

Block objects that are returned from Amazon Textract operations contain the results of text detection and text analysis operations, such as AnalyzeDocument. The following Python tutorials show some of the different ways that you can use Block objects. For example, you can export table information to a comma-separated values (CSV) file.

The tutorials use synchronous Amazon Textract operations that return all results. If you want to use asynchronous operations such as StartDocumentAnalysis, you need to change the example code to accommodate multiple batches of returned Block objects. To make use of the asynchronous operations example, ensure that you have followed the instructions given at Configuring Amazon Textract for Asynchronous Operations.

For examples that show you other ways to use Amazon Textract, see Additional Code Samples.

Prerequisites

Before you can run the examples in this section, you have to configure your environment.
