Taking your apps to the next level with (pre-trained) AI is easy and powerful. In this demo-full presentation, we will explore how common cognitive services for translation and speech can enhance your app’s reach and accessibility, as well as learn the most common integration patterns.

Bringing cognitive intelligence to your applications is easy with cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI) services. Powerful pre-built models are widely available and should be part of every developer’s toolbox.

In this session, we will explore Azure Cognitive Services and learn how to integrate speech and language services into your applications using available REST APIs. With plenty of demos, we will take a simple chat application and broaden its reach with translation services, translating both messages and documents. We will also reach the next level of accessibility with speech services while exploring various patterns and architectures that will help us cover the most common scenarios.

You will come out of this session with the tools and knowledge to enhance your applications with AI, and hopefully with some inspiration on how to take them to the next level.
