Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agents-openwebninja-com-image-to-text-ocr-via-google-lens-31c8a583
```

Example prompt: Can you extract all the text from this image — https://example.com/receipt.jpg — and give me the full text along with word-level positions? Use English as the output language.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, multi-level OCR output (paragraph, sentence, and word with bounding boxes) powered by Google Lens, especially for images publicly accessible via URL. It is ideal when positional layout information matters alongside raw text — such as document parsing, form reading, or sign recognition — and when you need multilingual support via ISO 639-1 language codes.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible image URL returns an error status
- Unsupported language code may fall back to default or return an error
- Low-quality or extremely small images may produce empty or incomplete text extraction
- Non-image URLs (e.g. HTML pages) will fail or return no text
- Rate limit or payment issues may return a 402 or 429 response

## How this service works

Extract text from an image and get paragraph, sentence and word level text detections from Google Lens.

## Output

Returns the full extracted text string, detected language, and a structured breakdown of paragraphs, sentences, and words — each with pixel-level bounding box coordinates (top, left, width, height). Also includes a request ID and status field for tracking.
