The requirement is to extract structured fields, including nested values, from invoices by using a defined schema . In Azure Content Understanding, an analyzer is the processing unit that defines how content is analyzed, what information is extracted, and how the output is structured, including JSON fields.

Microsoft’s Content Understanding document solutions documentation states that Content Understanding uses customizable analyzers to extract essential information, fields, and relationships from documents and forms. Microsoft’s quickstart also shows invoice processing with the prebuilt-invoice analyzer to extract structured data from an invoice document.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A. transcription workflow in Azure Speech is for converting audio to text, not invoice field extraction.

B. OCR-only document processing can extract text but does not meet the requirement for structured fields and nested values by schema.

D. Azure AI Search is for indexing and querying content, not defining invoice extraction schemas.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. an analyzer in Azure Content Understanding in Foundry Tools .
