What are add-on services

Some web APIs charge a fee per use, usually based on the size of submitted files. For us to include these in Tag, we need to calculate fees on a job-specific basis. This is done using add-on services.

Our customer billing portal allows you to purchase subscriptions for Tag. It also (soon) will let you purchase add-on service credits. After purchasing $10 worth of credits, you can consume add-on services up to that amount. In the future billing may be handled differently.

What add-on services are available

The focus of Tag's add-on services is providing access to Machine Learning models. These are services where you submit one or more files and receive back some kind of value-added result.

The services listed below use world-class machine learning models that are available to use in pipelines.

• Optical character recognition
• Entity detection within formatted or plain text
• Text analysis to detect sentiment (the mood of a document), key phrases, language and syntax (e.g., find nouns and their related verbs)
• Translation between a wide range of languages
• Topic modeling – scan a collection of documents and establish common themes or subjects
• Text-to-speech using the same technology as Amazon Alexa
• Speech-to-text which can be used to transcribe call center calls or other voice recordings into text

Add-on services are consumed using custom steps in a pipeline. When you provide input files and run the pipeline, a cost for that job is calculated and you are prompted to confirm before proceeding. The results of the call can be handled like any other content in a pipeline, and processed further as needed.
