# Azure AI

Azure's suite of AI services for search, speech processing, OpenAI integration, and document intelligence tasks.

## Primary Services

| Service | Capabilities |
|---------|-------------|
| **AI Search** | Full-text, vector, and hybrid search operations |
| **Speech Services** | Speech-to-text and text-to-speech conversions |
| **OpenAI Integration** | GPT models and embedding capabilities |
| **Document Intelligence** | Form extraction and OCR functionality |

## MCP Tools (when Azure MCP is enabled)

| Tool | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `azure__search` | Search index management and querying |
| `azure__speech` | Speech transcription and synthesis |

## AI Search Capabilities

- **Full-text search** — Linguistic analysis, stemming, ranking
- **Vector search** — Semantic matching through embeddings
- **Hybrid search** — Combined keyword + vector approaches
- **Index management** — Create, update, and query search indexes

## Speech Services

- **Real-time transcription** — Live speech-to-text
- **Batch transcription** — Offline audio file processing
- **Neural voice synthesis** — Text-to-speech with SSML support
- **Speaker identification** — Recognize individual speakers
- **Custom models** — Domain-specific model fine-tuning

## Getting Started

If Azure MCP isn't active, run `/azure:setup` or access setup via `/mcp`.

## SDK Support

Condensed SDK references are available for:
- Python
- TypeScript
- .NET
- Java

## Setup

```bash
npx skills add https://github.com/microsoft/azure-skills --skill azure-ai
```

For comprehensive guidance, see Microsoft's official documentation for AI Search indexing patterns and Speech service implementation details.
