AI-102 Implement computer vision solutions Practice Question
Which TWO Azure services can be used to perform optical character recognition (OCR) on images?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates may mistakenly think that only the Computer Vision Read API can perform OCR. However, Azure Form Recognizer also uses OCR technology to extract text from documents, though it is optimized for structured forms and tables. The correct answers are both A and E. A common mistake is to choose the Face API or Custom Vision, which do not provide OCR capabilities.
