| Machine Learning (ML) has come from a buzzword that is nice to have in your application to a must-have feature that works and adds value. Data scientists develop ML models in various ML Frameworks like TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, PyTorch, Azure ML, etc. Before ML.NET became available to all developers, adding the ML functionality to .NET applications required knowledge in some ML frameworks to build and train ML models. |

“Custom Neural Voices” is a part of Microsoft’s Cognitive Services suite of technologies. It allows users to develop highly realistic, humanlike voices by using Microsoft's groundbreaking neural text-to-speech technology. A user will simply record audio samples and then upload training data. Once the voice is created, it can be used in applications for Text-to-Speech or Voice Assistant.
In addition, once the voice is created, it can be used to speak fluently in 13 other languages:
This will provide developers the ability to give their application a voice and persona that can be applied to 13 different languages/dialects. Global companies such as BBC, Swisscom, AT&T and Duolingo have built realistic voices that resonate with their brands.

Bots have been available to developers and consumers alike for many years. They have been used in many facets of everyday life that many times we don’t even realize. The intelligence behind these has continued to become more sophisticated and specialized for specific business sectors. In addition, Microsoft has made the bot development experience very easy and straightforward for developers.
Continuing in the path of specialization and ease of creation, Microsoft has a developed a Health Bot, with strict focus on health care. It’s backed by a pre-trained Machine Learning model with focus on the healthcare terminology. This empowers developers to quickly build and deploy AI-powered conversational bots. In addition, the bot service follows industry compliance requirements and HIPAA standards. These bots can be used in any healthcare related environment to assess a potential sickness of a patient, inquire about certain medications/supplements for a specific scenario, etc. The bot can also be combined with the Text to Speech service to provide a more human-like interaction with users.
To get started, follow the Step by step guide to creating your first health bot.
