## About

## What it does
Video Language Detection identifies the spoken language in an uploaded video file or a video URL and returns Azure’s language code with a confidence score.

Send Video Language Detection a binary video file to `/file`, or pass a video `url` to `/url`. Both endpoints accept one input only: either `file` or `url`. The response comes back under `data.azure` with `language` and `confidence`, so you can wire it directly into moderation, localization, or media-routing workflows.

Use it when you need to route user-generated video to the right transcription pipeline, pick a downstream subtitle template, or flag content for language-specific review. Because the output is a compact language code plus confidence value, it’s easy to store, compare, and threshold in automated systems.

The API is a good fit for media platforms, multilingual content tools, and intake pipelines that need a quick language signal before further processing.
