    Specifically, it starts processing millions of documents in minutes by leveraging the power of machine learning without having trained models from scratch. If any of the content contains personally identifiable information not only can Amazon Comprehend locate it but it will also redact or mask it. Using NLP techniques Amazon Comprehend goes well beyond keyword search or rules-based tagging to accurately classify documents. For my task or development, I cannot find any difficulties with Amazon Comprehend.
