Web N-gram Services

We invite the whole community to use the Web N-gram services, made available via a cloud-based platform, to drive discovery and innovation in web search, natural language processing, speech, and related areas by conducting research on real-world web-scale data, taking advantage of regular data updates for projects that benefit from dynamic data.

Transitioning to Project Oxford

We are phasing out the Web N-Gram Service, and directing new users to the recently released Project Oxford Web Language Model APIs. Since the Project Oxford WebLM service is open to commercial users, students can continue leveraging it even after leaving academia.

To obtain a key, click the Subscribe button at the top of the Oxford WebLM page and follow the instructions there. You can also find full API documentation through that link.

Microsoft Web N-Gram Service (Deprecated)

This data service is brought to you in collaboration with Microsoft Bing.

Please send all inquiries and report issues to the Microsoft Web N-Gram alias.
