Description

This endpoint extracts the text from an image and returns its content in the format specified in the request.

The format can be either plain or markdown. The API will return all the text from the image, trying to maintain the document structure as much as possible.

This is particularly useful for documents, receipts, and other text-heavy images where you want to retain the formatting.

This endpoint is not available in test mode, since test watermarks prevent accurate text extraction. If you want to test the capabilities of this endpoint, please switch to live mode to use this feature, or contact support to temporarily upgrade your account.
