Translated from 日本語 • View original In recent years, DX has been attracting attention in the world, and Colorkrew has received many inquiries about DX.
Among them, I would like to introduce what kind of service it is and what kind of billing form it is, which is one of the most frequently inquired about Azure Cognitive Services. The first question is, what is Azure Cognitive Services in the first place? We will deliver on the theme.
What is Azure Cognitive Services?
Azure Cognitive Services is a suite of AI parts services provided by Microsoft, a company that advocates the democratization of AI. The process of "data accumulation" and "learning", which is an issue with machine learning, is simplified as much as possible, and AI functions can be easily incorporated into applications for services.

What can Azure Cognitive Services do?
Azure Cognitive Services is divided into four main areas: speech, language, vision, and judgment.
Audio Field
Technology examples: Speech analysis, voice generation In the voice field, functions such as "speaking and listening" can be mainly incorporated into services. You can convert the prepared text into speech and read it aloud, or transcribe the user's voice into a text file. For example, by using the audio field, you can transcribe what the presenter said in the presentation into text data, or conversely, have the prepared manuscript read aloud to the computer.
Linguistic Fields
Technical examples: Text analysis, natural language processing, morpheme analysis In the field of language, it is mainly possible to understand (analyze) the content of sentences. In the field of speech, you can simply transcribe audio as text, but in the field of language, you can understand the meaning of the transcribed sentence and connect it to the next action. For example, by using the language field, you can automate questions and answers in the chat of the internal help desk.
Visual Field
Examples of techniques: image analysis, image analysis, object detection, OCR In the field of vision, it is mainly possible to understand (analyze) images. You can understand (analyze) the contents of the image, such as determining whether it is a cat or a dog, and what you bought from the image on the receipt. For example, by using the visual field, it can be used to detect the company's logo in the image.
Judgment Fields
Technical examples: anomaly detection, sentence detection In the judgment field, it can mainly be used for monitoring and early detection of problems. You can understand (analyze) data that changes daily, such as early detection of product anomalies and detection of abnormal access to your own site. For example, you can use judgment fields to detect offensive or unfavorable sentences for a particular post.
Next time
In the next article, we will delve deeper into the "voice" field within Azure Cognitive Services and introduce the features and pricing structure of each service.
Conclusion
Colorkrew will provide support in various ways, from PoC to main development using Azure Cognitive Services. If you are interested in developing assistance with Azure Cognitive Services, please contact us at:
