Why Learn Applied AI Services?
You do not need an advanced math degree to use AI! By calling these pre-trained APIs, you can add facial recognition, text-to-speech, and chatbots to your applications in just minutes.
Tutorial Overview
In this tutorial, you will learn the major pre-trained AI services in AWS:
- Amazon Rekognition
- Amazon Polly & Amazon Transcribe

Pre-Trained AI APIs
- Amazon Rekognition: A computer vision service. You send it a photo or video, and it will identify objects, people, text, scenes, and even detect inappropriate content.
- Amazon Polly: Turns text into lifelike speech using deep learning. (Think of it as creating your own audiobook narrator).
- Amazon Transcribe: The inverse of Polly. It automatically converts speech (audio files) into text transcriptions.
- Amazon Lex: A service for building conversational interfaces (chatbots) into any application using voice and text. It uses the exact same deep learning engine that powers Amazon Alexa.
