PRODUCTION SCENARIO
An accounts-payable team runs Vision API text detection on scanned supplier invoices. It gets raw text back but still needs the invoice number, total, and line items as separate fields.

Answer: Use Document AI, which adds form parsing and entity extraction on top of OCR
Document AI is the route Google recommends for scanned documents because it pairs optical character recognition with structured form parsing and entity extraction. Vision text detection returns words and where they sit on the page, never named fields, so higher resolution or a different detection feature changes nothing about the output shape.
