How to deploy Text Recognition on your Private Azure tenant

DataSnipper gives you the possibility to deploy text recognition on your Private Azure tenant.

Introduction

If you would like to implement Text Recognition within your own Azure tenant, the following guide will assist you. Once the steps outlined below have been followed, please send your Azure resource key and endpoint to DataSnipper. DataSnipper will compile the endpoint and key into a company-specific installation package to deploy to your users.

Data, Privacy, and Security

After the company-specific installation package is installed, all data will stay within the company network. The data stays local when snipping in your workbooks and within your private Azure tenant during text recognition. To learn more, please read the Microsoft documentation about the data, privacy, and security of Azure Text Recognition.

In order to request an Azure key and endpoint for your organization you need the help of your Azure IT administrator. If you are unsure of who this is, please contact your IT team. The instructions below will assist your Azure IT administrator in configuring an Azure endpoint for Text Recognition.
