WAT is a sample implementation of cognitive services for iOS. It serves as example for IBM Watson and it's also a kind of a quick start assistant.
It's not a whole implementation of every little detail of the Services provided by IBM. It gives a quick overview of the most common one. WAT is work in progress and will change with the Watson iOS SDK, as well as the Services itself.
As mentioned above, not every little detail is implemented. Here is an overview of the currently available Services and the their implementation status in WAT.
- Alchemy Data News (Beta)
- Alchemy Language
- Alchemy Vision (Deprecated, moved to Visual Recognition)
- Conversation (Beta)
- Dialog
- Document Conversation (Beta)
- Language Translation
- Natural Language Classifier
- Personality Insights
- Speech to Text
- Text to Speech
- Tone Analyzer
- Trade Off Analytics (Beta)
- Visual Recognition
Here are some Screencasts of the Services.
AlchemyVision is an API that can analyze an image and return the objects, people, and text found within the image. AlchemyVision can enhance the way businesses make decisions by integrating image cognition. NOTE: The AlchemyVision service has been merged into the Visual Recognition service.
The Language Translation service translates and publishes content in multiple languages.
The Speech to Text service converts the human voice into the written word.
Designed for streaming low-latency synthesis of audio from written text. The service synthesizes natural-sounding speech from input text in a variety of languages and voices that speak with appropriate cadence and intonation.

- Use Visual Recognition instead of AlchemyVision
- Improve Watson iOS SDK to easily upload Text and Images
Some of you will be curiosed about the "Architecture" that is used in this project. I wanted to keep it as simple as possible. It should be easy to understand, to follow and to reuse. That is also a reason, why I decied to use more storyboard. Every Service should be as accessible as possible. This is very important to transfer the code into your projects to get a quick start into the cognitive era.
Update the Dependencies and run Carthage for the first time:
carthage update --platform iOS
After that, you are good to go and can build the Xcode project.
You're more than welcome to help! If you would like to contribute, need informations or anything else, feel free to contact me.
There is a lot of Inspiration that goes back to IBM and it's great team behind Watson! Thanks a lot for this easy to use, powerful and great tool!
