Input

Field	What it is
`images`	Public `https` links to PNG, JPEG or WebP images, or `data:image/...;base64,...` strings. One output row per image.
`languages`	Any of `nep`, `hin`, `eng`. Default `["nep","eng"]`.
`maxImages`	Upper limit per run (default 20, max 100).

Example input:

{ "images": ["https://example.com/notice.jpg"], "languages": ["nep", "eng"] }

Output (one row per image)

{
  "image": "https://example.com/notice.jpg",
  "ok": true,
  "text": "नेपाल सरकार\nपर्यटन विभाग\n…",
  "confidence": 92,
  "devanagariShare": 0.685,
  "characters": 84,
  "lines": 4,
  "languages": ["nep", "eng"],
  "readAt": "2026-11-03T07:30:00.000Z"
}

A row that could not be read has ok: false and an error (not an image, private link, PDF, no text found). A SUMMARY record gives the counts of images read, failed and skipped.

Price

Pay per event, page: $0.01 per image read. Failed or empty images are not charged. Nothing else is billed on top.

Honest limits

Printed text only. Handwriting is read poorly or not at all.
Accuracy depends on the picture: sharp, straight, well-lit scans at 150 dpi or more read best. Check confidence; below about 60 the text needs a human look.
Mixed scripts work, but small English words inside Nepali lines can be misread. Tables and columns come out as lines in reading order, not as cells.
PDFs are not supported: export each page as an image first.
Links to private networks, file: links and links with a username or password are refused.
Images up to 15 MB each.
