Use this quickstart to start using Azure Cognitive Services. After creating a Cognitive Service resource in the Azure portal, you'll get an endpoint and a key for authenticating your applications.
Azure Cognitive Services are cloud-based services with REST APIs, and client library SDKs available to help developers build cognitive intelligence into applications without having direct artificial intelligence (AI) or data science skills or knowledge. Azure Cognitive Services enables developers to easily add cognitive features into their applications with cognitive solutions that can see, hear, speak, understand, and even begin to reason.
