Converts an uploaded photo of a document in common formats such as JPEG, PNG into text via Optical Character Recognition. This API is intended to be run on photos of documents, e.g. taken with a smartphone and supports cases where other content, such as a desk, are in the frame and the camera is crooked. If you want to OCR a scanned image, use the image/toText API call instead as it is designed for scanned images. 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.
