This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Azure Cognitive Services, focusing on real-world applications of computer vision, document processing, and natural language understanding. Designed for beginners and practitioners alike, the course demonstrates how to leverage Azure’s pre-built and custom AI models to extract insights from images, documents, and text.

Learners begin with image analysis using Azure Computer Vision, including object detection and building custom image classifiers with Azure Custom Vision. Core evaluation concepts such as precision and recall are explained in a simple, practical way to help assess model performance effectively.

The course then explores Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and document intelligence, showing how to read text from images and extract structured data from sales receipts using Azure Form Recognizer. Both pre-built models and custom-trained models are covered to highlight flexibility and scalability.

On the language side, the course introduces sentiment analysis, opinion mining, and sensitive information extraction using Azure Text Analytics. Learners also work with translation services, including document translation and building custom language translation models. Integration examples demonstrate how AI services can be used in workflows such as email sentiment analysis with Azure Logic Apps.

This course is ideal for developers, data analysts, and AI enthusiasts looking to build intelligent applications using Azure AI services.
