Benefits

Insights from customers

Use entity analysis to find and label fields within a document—including emails, chat, and social media—and then sentiment analysis to understand customer opinions to find actionable product and UX insights.

Multimedia and multilingual support

Natural Language with Speech-to-Text API extracts insights from audio. Vision API adds optical character recognition (OCR) for scanned docs. Translation API understands sentiments in multiple languages.

Content targeting and discovery

Use Google's state-of-the-art language technology to classify content across media for better content recommendations and ad targeting.

Key features

Three natural language solutions that work with your text

AutoML

Train your own high-quality machine learning custom models to classify, extract, and detect sentiment with minimum effort and machine learning expertise using Vertex AI for natural language, powered by AutoML. You can use the AutoML UI to upload your training data and test your custom model without a single line of code.

Natural Language API

The powerful pre-trained models of the Natural Language API empowers developers to easily apply natural language understanding (NLU) to their applications with features including sentiment analysis, entity analysis, entity sentiment analysis, content classification, and syntax analysis.

Healthcare Natural Language AI

Gain real-time analysis of insights stored in unstructured medical text. Healthcare Natural Language API allows you to distill machine-readable medical insights from medical documents, while AutoML Entity Extraction for Healthcare makes it simple to build custom knowledge extraction models for healthcare and life sciences apps—no coding skills required.
