How AI is used
Linguin AI is a developer-focused tool designed to detect the language of a text and identify English profanity. It uses a combination of static analysis, AI, and machine-learning models to analyze text in real time, returning results as ISO language codes with confidence scores.
The service is built for companies that handle international audiences and user-generated content. It supports both single-text and bulk detection requests, which may be integrated into applications using provided bindings for specific languages.
Buyers should note that while language detection covers 173 languages, the profanity detection feature is limited to English. Additionally, the billing model is based on the busiest day of the month, which buyers should consider when forecasting costs.
