Microsoft Syntex pay-as-you-go service: Simple document processing prebuilt model

Updated December 10, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Coming soon to Microsoft Syntex pay-as-you-go service is a new prebuilt model that uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and AI to detect the primary language of the file, key-value pairs, tables, selection marks, and barcodes. As with other models, it can be configured to extract this information to specified library columns.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 413430.

When this will happen:

General Availability (Worldwide): ): We will begin rolling out mid-November and expect to complete by late December 2024 (previously late November 2024).

How this will affect your organization:

Users will be able to easily configure and apply a model to detect import elements of information in the document, including the primary language of the file text and barcodes.

This is another prebuilt model, in addition to contracts, receipts, and invoices, and is available via the same service. If the prebuilt service is on, this new model will also appear in the menu.

Once enabled, users will be able to create, configure, and apply this model in the same manner as other prebuilt models.

In addition to extracting detected elements, this model can also detect the primary language of the file. This information can be extracted to a Detected language column when the model is applied to a library, which can then be used for other content processing, like document translation.

What you need to do to prepare:

After the feature has rolled out, you can manage its availability to your users in the Microsoft 365 admin center.

This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.
