Amazon Textract is a fully managed machine learning service that automatically extracts text and data from scanned documents and goes beyond simple optical character recognition (OCR), to identify the contents of fields in forms and information stored in tables.
AWS PrivateLink provides private connectivity between VPCs and AWS services, without leaving the AWS network. Using AWS PrivateLink, you can access Amazon Textract securely by keeping your network traffic within the AWS network, while simplifying your internal network architecture. You do not need to use an Internet Gateway, Network Address Translation (NAT) devices, or firewall proxies to connect to Amazon Textract.
