Hi folks, I've been playing around with Microsoft Azure, and they also have a cognitive analysis tool that Kibble can use, called Text Analytics API.
It's quite a lot simpler than the one Watson has, in that it only scores a text from 0 to 1 where 0 means mostly negative, 0.5 is neutral (or a mix), and 1 means mostly positive. Currently, the whole text is read as one large blob and a score returned, which means we can process many emails at once, and it looks to be relatively cheap for users to analyze with (still hunting for a free alternative!). So I added optional support for this as well. I have also added example (commented-out) config snippets for both analyzers in the conf/config.yaml file in the scanners repo. With regards, Daniel.
