Azure ML & Cloud
Azure Cognitive Services
Pre-built APIs for vision, speech, language, decision
What it is
A suite of REST APIs for the AI tasks you don't need to train yourself: OCR, document parsing, translation, sentiment, speech-to-text, content moderation. Production-ready in minutes.
How Vaaani uses it
- Document Intelligence (Form Recognizer) for invoice / receipt extraction
- Translator for 100+ languages, cross-script-aware
- Speech Services for high-quality multilingual TTS
- Content Safety to filter harmful text/image inputs
Why it makes the cut
Why train an OCR model when Microsoft has spent billions on one? Cognitive Services is the 'don't reinvent the wheel' layer.
Sample code
from azure.ai.formrecognizer import DocumentAnalysisClient client = DocumentAnalysisClient(endpoint, AzureKeyCredential(key)) poller = client.begin_analyze_document( "prebuilt-invoice", document) result = poller.result()
