Azure is coming is with new Video Analytics API under the Azure Media Analytics(AMA) bracket, and looks promising. Azure即将在Azure Media Analytics（AMA）框架下提供新的Video Analytics API，并且看起来很有希望。 In the meantime, Azure Cognitive Services has also come up with Video API which can do some of the analytics jobs which already exist in AMA. 同时，Azure Cognitive Services还提供了Video API，该API可以执行AMA中已经存在的一些分析工作。 Why is Microsoft following these two different tracks to come up with analytics solution, rather than having one team look at it completely ? 为什么Microsoft遵循这两个不同的途径来提出分析解决方案，而不是让一个团队完全看待它？

3 个解决方案

Cognitive Services was designed to be a lightweight series of API's enabling cognitive capabilities for application developers. 认知服务被设计为一系列轻量级的API，可为应用程序开发人员提供认知功能。 This suite comprised different forms of AI such as speech and image analysis, in addition to Video. 除视频外，该套件还包含其他形式的AI，例如语音和图像分析。

In the case of the Video APIs, these are actually hosted as Media Processors on the Azure Media Services (AMS) platform at the core. 对于视频API，它们实际上是作为核心的Azure媒体服务（AMS）平台上的媒体处理器托管的。

In addition to what Adarsh has stated above, the other area to watch out for is compliance requirements. 除了上述Adarsh所说的以外，还要注意的其他方面是合规性要求。 There are different terms of use for Cognitive Services like Video Indexer vs. Azure Media Services. 诸如视频索引器与Azure媒体服务之类的认知服务有不同的使用条款。 At this time, if you need a fully compliant service with the Azure Terms of services, then you should look at Azure Media Services/Analytics. 目前，如果您需要与Azure服务条款完全兼容的服务，则应查看Azure Media Services / Analytics。 If you are ok with the Cognitive Services terms of service and lack of full compliance that Azure has, then you can look at videoindexer.ai. 如果您对Cognitive Services服务条款满意并且缺乏Azure具有的完全合规性，则可以查看videoindexer.ai。

Over time, we will be bringing more compliance to the Video Indexer platform as well, but since that is a newer set of features it will take some time. 随着时间的推移，我们还将为Video Indexer平台带来更多合规性，但是由于这是一组较新的功能，因此需要一些时间。

I was looking for an answer for almost the same question but in relation to audio transcription only. 我一直在寻找几乎相同的问题的答案，但仅涉及音频转录。 Found that : 发现是：

Microsoft has been developing a set of services for speech, face and emotion recognition for quite some time, previously known as “Project Oxford”. 微软已经开发了一套用于语音，面部和情感识别的服务，以前称为“牛津计划”。 These services have now been bundled together in a single pack called as Microsoft Cognitive Services. 现在，这些服务已捆绑在一起，称为Microsoft Cognitive Services。 All of its components are now made available to Azure Media Services and branded as “Azure Media Analytics”. 现在，其所有组件都可用于Azure媒体服务，并以“ Azure媒体分析”为品牌。 It makes video searchable and more accessible to users by indexing its content. 通过将视频内容编入索引，它可以使视频可搜索，并使用户更易于访问。

As I understand Azure Media Services use "Cognitive Services" for analytics. 据我了解，Azure Media Services使用“认知服务”进行分析。

Update: Apparently, they don't know yet either . 更新：显然，他们也不知道。
