New services expand IBM Watson capabilities to images, speech, and more
Some context on the new services. They are built on technology that comes from IBM Research and has been moved into the Watson group in 2014. Some like speech, have been developed for more than 50 years. None of these technologies have overlap with the Watson Jeopardy stack (except for the Watson voice). We will release that stack later this year as a series of services allowing you to build a full Q&A/dialog application.All the Watson services are still in beta but will start going GA very soon (first one next month). If you have any questions, please fire up, the Watson team is ready to answer.
