The previous chapter covered the Speech APIs. Throughout this chapter, we will look closer at more Language APIs. We will learn how to use spellcheck features. Moving on, we will see how to use web language models to generate and find the next word and sequences. We will then discover how to detect languages, key phrases, and sentiment in text. Finally, we will look briefly into linguistic analysis. Doing so will teach us how to explore the structure of text, discovering nouns, verbs, and more.
By the end of this chapter, we will have covered the following topics:
Checking spelling and recognizing slang and informal language, common names, homonyms, and brands
Breaking words, such as hashtags and URLs, into several words
Finding the likelihood of a sequence of words appearing together, or a sequence appearing after a given word
Detecting language, key phrases, and sentiment in text
Executing linguistic analysis of text
