Project Name: Cognitive Services(Speech)

The project is based on Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services. Azure Cognitive Services are
cloud-based services with REST APIs and client library SDKs available to help you build cognitive
intelligence into your applications. You can add cognitive features to your applications without
having artificial intelligence (AI) or data science skills. Azure Cognitive Services comprise various
AI services that enable you to build cognitive solutions that can see, hear, speak, understand, and
even make decisions.

speech recognition, speaker identification, and sentence attribution to each speaker (also known as
diarization) to provide real-time and/or asynchronous transcription of any conversation and the
aim of speech to text to enable speech-to-text translation of audio streams.

Technical discussion, rather then focusing on the key points to be noted. Also removes the barrier
of the language.
