Amazon Textract Gets Smarter: 40+ Languages and Better Accuracy

Amazon Textract's updated text detection model now supports over 40 languages and handles multilingual documents way better—think improved handwriting recognition, long-word accuracy, and robust table extraction even with merged cells or skewed layouts. The best part? It's automatic; your existing API calls work without any changes, and it's live across all AWS regions where Textract operates.
