Microsoft Azure Text Analytics
Microsoft Azure Text Analytics is a cloud-based natural language processing (NLP) service that enables developers to extract insights from unstructured text. It provides pre-built AI models for tasks like sentiment analysis, key phrase extraction, named entity recognition, and language detection. The service is part of Azure Cognitive Services and can be integrated into applications via REST APIs or client libraries.
Developers should use Azure Text Analytics when building applications that need to analyze customer feedback, social media content, documents, or any text data for business intelligence. It's particularly useful for sentiment analysis in customer support systems, content categorization in media platforms, and entity extraction for data processing pipelines. The service reduces the need for custom NLP model development by offering ready-to-use, scalable AI capabilities.
