An organization wants to search hundreds of scanned documents for key information like dates, names, and other specific words. Why should the organization use application programming interfaces (APIs)?
A.
To replace the scanned documents with an online survey
B.
To ingest data in real time and encrypt unmatched words
C.
To create digital versions of the documents and locate key information
D.
To transform the documents into unstructured data.
I think scanned documents and digital version of the documents are not the same. Scanned are only a picture of these documents, on the other hand the digital version of the documents are converted in Text and saved in format like PDF or any other common text formats.
Leaning towards C since extracting key information seems to be the end goal.
Why not D? Well scanned documents (images or PDFs) are already unstructured data, so you would transform unstructured data to unstructured data.
The correct answer is C.
The organization can use APIs to connect to a document processing service that takes the scanned documents, convert them into digital text, and extract the key information that the organization is looking for.
Option D is not as effective for this task because it would make the documents even more difficult to search.
C. To create digital versions of the documents and locate key information
Application programming interfaces (APIs) can be used to create digital versions of scanned documents and locate key information within those documents. This is because APIs can be used to perform optical character recognition (OCR) on scanned documents. OCR is the process of converting scanned images of text into machine-readable text.
Guys, D is correct. Think of it this way: the APIs are used to search for the data required in the documents (which are already digital btw). So the APIs are queried with the documents and not build on top of the documents. Hope that makes sense.
C. To create digital versions of the documents and locate key information: APIs can be used to interact with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software and other document processing tools. These APIs can help convert scanned documents into digital, machine-readable formats and then extract specific information like dates, names, and keywords from them. This is a common use case for APIs when dealing with large volumes of scanned documents, as it allows for efficient data extraction and analysis.
I will go for C - This is referring to full text search, by digitalzing the scanned documents (scanned docs are already unstructured data and are not digitalized yet) and indexing them to make the search process easier.
The organization should use application programming interfaces (APIs) to create digital versions of the scanned documents and locate key information. APIs can provide access to text recognition and document processing services, which can extract text from scanned documents and make it searchable. By utilizing APIs, the organization can convert the scanned documents into machine-readable formats, extract relevant information such as dates, names, and specific words, and perform searches efficiently. This enables the organization to easily locate and retrieve the desired information from a large volume of documents.
Question and the options are confusing or not proper. Vision API can detect text in PDF/TIFF files https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/pdf. Hence I think the closest is C but it also says to convert it to digital document which already has been done.
Terrible question and choices. The answer is def not A or B which leaves C or D. The docs are already scanned (so not C) and why would they want to convert the docs to unstructured data when searching for "specific words"?
APIs can be used to access and extract specific information from documents, including scanned documents. By using APIs, the organization can extract key information such as dates, names, and specific words from the scanned documents without manually reviewing each document. This can significantly reduce the time and effort required to search the documents for the desired information.
Additionally, APIs can be used to convert the scanned documents into digital versions, which can be easily searched and analyzed. Once the scanned documents are converted into digital versions, the organization can use APIs to extract the desired information and store it in a database or other system for further analysis.
I chose C. I agree with one comment that the documents are scanned, so they are already digitized. But the question reads to me like the data is already unstructured. I do not like this question.
APIs can be used to extract information from scanned documents and convert them into digital formats that can be searched and analyzed. APIs can help automate the process of locating key information, such as dates, names, and specific words, within hundreds of scanned documents, making it easier for the organization to find what they are looking for.
