Summary

Microsoft Azure Computer Vision provides cloud-based intelligent image processing capabilities that can be used to extract information from images, including recognizing phone numbers. The service uses object detection and other AI technologies to identify the type of text in an image, such as phone numbers. Twilio Lookup is then used to validate the extracted phone number. This allows developers to build applications that can recognize and verify phone numbers in images, which can be useful for various purposes, such as fraud protection or sending SMS messages to verified phone numbers. The use of Azure Computer Vision and Twilio Lookup provides a scalable and reliable solution for extracting and verifying phone numbers from images.
