Hello,  
I would like to know exactly which Microsoft cognitive service uses the “Image Recognizer” block. The one on the second screenshot?

Hi @Andrea_Marchisio,

Not sure off the top of my head, but I can find out for you.

Just wondering what sort of app you’re building and how you’re planning on using this feature?

Hi,  
I am developing an app for a shoes retailer and with this functionality I would like, by taking pictures of the shoe, to recognize the chosen shoe model, to then propose services and give information.  
In theory, Microsoft’s cognitive services should do this.  
So “Image\_Recognizer” to which Microsoft API is referenced?

Many thanks  
Andrea

@Andrea_Marchisio, [this is the Microsoft Vision API](https://westus.dev.cognitive.microsoft.com/docs/services/56f91f2d778daf23d8ec6739/operations/56f91f2e778daf14a499e1fe) that we are currently using.

Hope this helps!

-Mark
