AI-102 Implement computer vision solutions Practice Question
Which TWO Azure AI services can perform optical character recognition (OCR)?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse Video Indexer's ability to extract text from video frames as a primary OCR service, but the exam expects you to recognize that OCR is a core feature of the Read API and Azure AI Document Intelligence, not a secondary capability of a video analysis tool.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Azure AI Document Intelligence
Azure AI Document Intelligence (formerly Form Recognizer) includes a prebuilt read model that extracts printed and handwritten text from documents, making it a valid OCR service. The Read API, part of Azure AI Vision, is specifically designed for OCR and can extract text from images and PDFs. Both services provide optical character recognition capabilities, though they target different use cases: Document Intelligence focuses on structured document analysis, while Read API is a general-purpose OCR engine.
