Quick Look At Cognitive Service Content Moderator Web Application

Introduction

Azure Content Moderator API is a cognitive service that checks text, image, and video content for material that is potentially offensive, risky, or otherwise undesirable. When such material is found, the service applies appropriate labels (flags) to the content. Mobile Application/ Website handle flagged content in order to comply with regulations or maintain the intended environment for users.

Microsoft published the online Content Moderator Review tool to test the Text, image and video functionality of Content Moderator without having to write any code. If you wish to integrate to the application, let's review and look the all content moderator demos quickly. You can read my previous article to understand the Cognitive Service Content Moderator.
