Understand Azure Video Indexer capabilities
The Azure Video Indexer service is designed to help you extract information from videos. It provides functionality that you can use for:
- Facial recognition - detecting the presence of individual people in the image. This requires Limited Access approval.
- Optical character recognition - reading text in the video.
- Speech transcription - creating a text transcript of spoken dialog in the video.
- Topics - identification of key topics discussed in the video.
- Sentiment - analysis of how positive or negative segments within the video are.
- Labels - label tags that identify key objects or themes throughout the video.
- Content moderation - detection of adult or violent themes in the video.
- Scene segmentation - a breakdown of the video into its constituent scenes.
The Video Analyzer service provides a portal website that you can use to upload, view, and analyze videos interactively.
