bytes

This field applies only when you use a custom entity recognition model that was trained with PDF annotations. For other cases, enter your text input in the Text field.

Use the Bytes parameter to input a text, PDF, Word or image file. Using a plain-text file in the Bytes parameter is equivelent to using the Text parameter (the Entities field in the response is identical).

You can also use the Bytes parameter to input an Amazon Textract DetectDocumentText or AnalyzeDocument output file.

Provide the input document as a sequence of base64-encoded bytes. If your code uses an Amazon Web Services SDK to detect entities, the SDK may encode the document file bytes for you.

The maximum length of this field depends on the input document type. For details, see Inputs for real-time custom analysis in the Comprehend Developer Guide.

If you use the Bytes parameter, do not use the Text parameter.
