Changelog

[1.3] - 2026-09-09

Added

⚡ A live Standby REST endpoint (GET /ocr?imageUrl=...) for single-image requests with no run start-up wait, alongside normal batch runs.
🔤 Real word-level bounding boxes and rotation angle, opt-in via outputDetail: "words". Every box comes directly from Google's own response, never estimated.
📚 Paragraph grouping and writing direction (left-to-right, right-to-left, or top-to-bottom), opt-in via outputDetail: "paragraphs" or "words".
🎯 Detected regions and objects in the image, at no extra cost, shown alongside paragraphs and words.
🗂️ A new dataset view for paragraphs, words, and regions.

Fixed

💳 Failed images are now correctly billed as near-free audit rows instead of the full per-image price.
📝 The Store listing and FAQ no longer contradict the Actor's own capabilities.

Changed

🖼️ The input form now leads with a single image URL, the way most runs actually use this Actor. Bulk URLs, Base64 data, and key-value store records moved to an "advanced" section, still fully supported.

[1.2] - 2026-08-01

Added

🧬 Added Base64 image inputs with optional correlation IDs.
🗄️ Added Apify key-value store image inputs.
🏷️ Added stable inputId correlation across all source types.
📐 Added source image dimensions, word counts, source-provided line geometry, and explicit geometry availability flags.
🌐 Added optional translated text with explicit partial-result handling.
⏱️ Added per-input duration, status, error code, and error message fields.
📊 Added a RUN_SUMMARY record with submitted, successful, partial, and failed counts.
⚡ Added bounded batch concurrency while preserving input order.

Changed

✅ Every submitted image now produces one honest dataset row, including failed inputs.
🛡️ Removed invented zero-coordinate fallbacks and the upstream full-image geometry fallback.
🧾 Reduced output detail choices to capabilities supported by the current OCR source.
💳 Aligned PPE billing with the tiered Store price. Successful and partial OCR results emit the processed-image event, while failed audit rows are not charged.
📴 Disabled Standby mode and removed the web server schema.
🗂️ Updated dataset views for batch overview, text, line geometry, and errors.

Removed

🧩 Removed unsupported language and region hints.
📦 Removed duplicated paragraph output and unsupported word-box claims.
🌐 Removed the Standby HTTP server and its /ocr endpoint.

[1.1] - 2026-07-02

🧹 Cleaned up the Store listing page for a clearer, faster read.
