Identifies the language of any text, from a list of more than 180 languages. It's based on a deep neural network that offers a high performance in both speed and linguistic precision. The results adhere to the ISO 639 standard.

This API helps automatize multilingual sourced applications either by correcting a manual detection preprocessing or by avoiding it altogether.

Differentiators:

  • Discriminates among more than 180 languages.
  • Very easy to use.
