ImageOcr

Convert a scanned image into text

Converts an uploaded image in common formats such as JPEG, PNG into text via Optical Character Recognition. This API is intended to be run on scanned documents. If you want to OCR photos (e.g. taken with a smart phone camera), be sure to use the photo/toText API instead, as it is designed to unskew the image first. Note: for free tier API keys, it is required to add a credit card to your account for security reasons, to use the free tier key with this API.
