We can all agree that applications such as Shazam have made life easier for music fanatics and movie lovers. You can find the song title and artist in a soundtrack by tapping the Shazam button. However, movie lovers also have a similar desire when trying to find the title of a movie from a single screenshot.
Artificial intelligence makes it possible for applications like Shazam to function seamlessly.
