Welcome

- [Sahil] Hi, my name is Sahil Malik, and welcome to Microsoft Cognitive Services: Speech. Speech, something we take for granted. We are talking with each other right now using speech, something so obvious to us. We recognize the identity of the person when we listen to them, the meaning in the words they convey, the language they are talking, or even emotions in the way they say it. In this course, I show you how you can use Microsoft Cognitive Services to perform many such functions.

I also talk about translating between different languages, things like text to speech, speech to text, or even identifying and verifying speaker identities. There is so much stuff that Cognitive Services can do, and the capabilities keep improving. I had a great time recording this course, and I hope you enjoy watching this course, too. Thank you.
