# Analysis using the Amazon Comprehend console
<a name="get-started-console"></a>

You can use the Amazon Comprehend console to analyze documents in real-time or to run asynchronous analysis jobs.

Using real-time analysis with built-in models, you can recognize entities, extract key phrases, detect primary language, detect PII, determine sentiment, analyze targeted sentiment, and analyze syntax. 

You can run analysis jobs using the built-in models to find insights such as entities, events, phrases, primary language, sentiment, targeted sentiment, and personally identifiable information (PII). You can also run topic-modeling jobs. 

The console also supports real-time and asynchronous analysis using custom models. For more information, see [Custom classification](how-document-classification.md) and [Custom entity recognition](custom-entity-recognition.md).
