we will create an optical character recognition (OCR) application using Blazor and the Azure Computer Vision Cognitive Service. Computer Vision is an AI service that analyzes content in images. We will use the OCR feature of Computer Vision to detect the printed text in an image. The application will extract the text from the image and detects the language of the text. This app will support 25 different languages.

We will cover the following concepts:

1. What is Azure Cognitive Services?
2. What is Computer Vision?
3. Create the Azure Computer Vision Cognitive Service resource
4. Create and configure a Blazor Server-Side application
5. Create the Blazor UI Component
6. Execution Demo
