Partition strategy for the document. Different strategies exist for textual, audio and video file types and you can set the strategy you want for each file type, or just for textual types.

For textual documents the options are 'hi_res' or 'fast'. When set to 'hi_res', images and tables will be extracted from the document. 'fast' will only extract text. 'fast' may be up to 20x faster than 'hi_res'. hi_res is only applicable for Word documents, PDFs, Images, and PowerPoints. Images will always be processed in hi_res. If hi_res is set for an unsupported document type, it will be processed and billed in fast mode.

For audio files, the options are true or false. True if you want to process audio, false otherwise.

For video files, the options are 'audio_only', 'video_only', 'audio_video'. 'audio_only' will extract just the audio part of the video. 'video_only' will similarly just extract the video part, ignoring audio. 'audio_video' will extract both audio and video.

To process all media types at the highest quality, use 'all'.

When you specify audio or video stategies, the format must be a JSON object. In this case, textual documents are denoted by the key "static". If you omit a key, that document type won't be processd. See examples below.

Examples

Textual documents only "fast"

Video documents only { "video": "audio_video" }

Specify multiple document types { "static": "hi_res", "audio": true, "video": "video_only" }

Specify only textual or audio document types { "static": "fast", "audio": true }

Highest quality processing for all media types "all"
