Expected/desired behavior

I asked the Document Intelligence team, and they say there's no option for disabling OCR in the API. You would need to update the parsing code to ignore the text parsed from images. I haven't done much Doc Intelligence parsing code myself, but I'm hoping that it's returned back in a way that you can delineate image text versus the other text.
