The correct answers are A and D because both scenarios involve extracting structured information from documents, which is exactly what Azure Form Recognizer is designed to do.

According to the Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals (AI-900) official study guide and Microsoft Learn module “Explore computer vision”, Form Recognizer is an Azure Cognitive Service that uses advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and machine learning to extract key-value pairs, tables, and text from structured and semi-structured documents such as receipts, invoices, business cards, and forms. It allows organizations to automate data entry and digitize document processing.

A. Extract the invoice number from an invoice → CorrectForm Recognizer can identify fields such as invoice number, total amount, date, vendor name, and billing address directly from invoices. It uses prebuilt models for invoices and receipts that automatically detect and extract relevant information without requiring extensive manual labeling. As stated in Microsoft Learn, “Form Recognizer extracts information from documents like receipts and invoices and returns structured data including key-value pairs.”

D. Identify the retailer from a receipt → CorrectThe prebuilt receipt model in Form Recognizer can read printed or scanned receipts and extract data points such as retailer name, transaction date, total amount, and tax information. This makes it ideal for expense reporting, auditing, or financial reconciliation.

The following options are incorrect:

B. Translate a form from French to English → This task involves language translation, which is performed by Azure Translator, not Form Recognizer.

C. Find an image of a product in a catalog → This requires object detection or image classification, which are part of Computer Vision, not Form Recognizer.

Therefore, based on Microsoft’s AI-900 learning objectives and documentation, the two correct scenarios are:

✅ A. Extract the invoice number from an invoice

✅ D. Identify the retailer from a receipt
