Pricing (pay per event)

$2.00 per 1,000 images (image-processed, $0.002 each), plus the standard $0.00005 actor start.
Charged only for images that were downloaded and OCR'd. Errors are free. Respects your run's maximum cost.

Good to know

Tesseract is excellent on printed text and screenshots, fair on photos and poor on handwriting. Check confidence (under ~60 usually means the source image is the problem).
For security, only public http(s) URLs are fetched. Private, loopback and cloud-metadata addresses are refused.
Only process images you have the right to use.
