  Microsoft Project Oxford is now Microsoft Cognitive Services
  Ryan Galgon - MSFT Monday, April 4, 2016 7:03 PM

  First off: there are no changes to the API endpoints or keys you are already using from Project Oxford.

  On March 30th at the //build/ conference we announced Microsoft Cognitive Services. Bringing together the services from Project Oxford along with Bing’s v5 Search APIs and additional machine learning based services from across Microsoft, there are now even more capabilities available to developers to easily add intelligent features across Vision, Speech, Language, Knowledge, and Search capabilities.

  Please visit our new site at: www.microsoft.com/cognitive to learn more and start using the new services today.
