Supported languages

Document digitization in Converse and Build uses a variety of third-party OCR processors to achieve best results. Digitization settings are interdependent, so your digitization requirements—for example, print versus handwritten text—impact which languages are supported.

Default language set

By default, Converse and Build support digitization only of languages that use Latin characters (a, b, c…) in the Azure AI Vision Read container or Microsoft Read model, depending on your project settings and documents.

Common languages within these lists that use non-Latin characters—and thus aren’t supported by default—include Arabic, Bengali, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Thai, and Urdu.
