Linguistic services sample

Shows how to use Extended Linguistic Services (ELS).

Note: This sample is part of a large collection of UWP feature samples. You can download this sample as a standalone ZIP file from docs.microsoft.com, or you can download the entire collection as a single ZIP file, but be sure to unzip everything to access shared dependencies. For more info on working with the ZIP file, the samples collection, and GitHub, see Get the UWP samples from GitHub. For more samples, see the Samples portal on the Windows Dev Center.

The sample implements scenarios that demonstrate the use of the three available services. The scenarios demonstrate how to request the desired service using the MappingGetServices function, and how to prepare parameters to be passed to the MappingRecognizeText function using that service.

The scenarios demonstrate the use of the these services:

• Languaged detection

  Enter a selection of text for which you want to detect the language(s). This returns the names of the languages recognized, sorted by confidence.

• Script detection

  Enter a selection of text in which you want to detect the scripts. This returns each range in the input text for which a particular script is recognized, with the standard Unicode name for the script.

• Transliteration services

  Enter a selection of text in Cyrillic. This returns the input text transliterated to Latin.

• Character grouping

  Character groups can be used for headers in grouped views or for zoomed-out SemanticZoom views.

Note The Windows universal samples require Visual Studio to build and Windows 10 to execute.
