Azure Cognitive Services provides powerful artificial intelligence functionality as a service. Cognitive Services Video Indexer leverages Azure Cognitive Services to implement the analysis and interpretation of video and audio content. This course, Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services: Video Indexer API, explores the functionality of the Video Indexer API to programmatically automate the processing of media assets using the Video Indexer service with C# and Python. First, you’ll explore authentication and authorization using API keys to retrieve access tokens, along with the use of access tokens to call service methods. Next, you’ll focus on the indexing of content and how to effectively process a large number of media assets. Searching and playing content using the API will also be covered, allowing the Video Indexer to be integrated with web sites and applications. Finally, you’ll examine how to edit and correct audio transcripts, along with the use of language translation to provide closed captions to audiences in different regions. By the end of this course, you’ll have a working knowledge of how to harness the power of Azure Cognitive Services for video and audio analysis.
