All of those things are used daily by billions of people around the world. Google sells their translation system through Google cloud, so does AWS and a bunch of other NLP startups.
- PaulHoule 8y agoCan you point me to a text analysis API that is not embarrassingly bad? I have tried products from Amazon, IBM, Google and other companies and the one thing they have in common is they've never passed an acceptance test for me. Language translation is a particular bad example of something where a "Clever Hans" effect can happen, where the reader's desire and capability for closure will fill in for mistakes the system makes and make it look like it performs better than it really does.

OpenCalais is pretty good in the financial domain. http://www.opencalais.com/opencalais-demo/ http://www.opencalais.com/opencalais-demo/ IBM isn’t great. Don’t know about Amazon.
