Common use cases

  • Digitize receipts and invoices into searchable text.
  • Extract text from screenshots and photos of documents.
  • Read business cards, labels, signs and forms.
  • Feed image text into search, spreadsheets, or LLM/RAG pipelines.

Notes

  • Works best on clear, high-contrast images. Blurry or low-resolution photos reduce accuracy.
  • For multilingual images, pass all relevant language codes (e.g. ["eng","ita"]).
  • imageUrls must be direct links to the image file.
