There are a lot of other lower-level services from Cognitive Services:
- The Text Analytics API detects sentiment, key phrases, topics, and language from text.
- The Bing Spell Check API provides not just spell check capabilities, but recognition of names, brand names, and slang.
- The Linguistic Analysis API can break down sentence structure, performing part-of-speech tagging, etc.
- The Entity Linking Intelligence Service annotates unstructured text with the relevant entities mentioned in the text (note this uses the Microsoft Graph, and can plug into your work knowledgebase, etc).
- The Bing Speech API provides speech-to-text and text-to-speech conversion capabilities, and the Speaker Recognition API even enables speaker identification and verification through voice.
- So many more: computer vision, face recognition, emotion detection, web search, image and video search, news search, etc.
