  title: Wolfram|Alpha Fast Query Recognizer API
  description: >-
    The Wolfram|Alpha Fast Query Recognizer API rapidly classifies a natural
    language query in under 10 milliseconds to determine whether Wolfram|Alpha
    is likely to return a useful response. Useful for routing layers that need
    to decide whether to invoke the heavier Full Results, Short Answers, or LLM
    APIs. Supports two recognition modes: Default for typed queries and Voice
    for spoken input.
