How this service works
L402-gated APIs: real-time Bitcoin mempool intelligence and private AI inference. Pay-per-call via Lightning. Zero API keys. Zero subscriptions.
Output
A JSON response containing the extracted text recognized from the submitted image, returned as structured output after a per-call Lightning micropayment of $0.025 USDC is processed via L402.
Example use cases
Receipt digitization for expense tracking
“I have a photo of a paper receipt from dinner last night — can you pull out all the text from it so I can log the items and amounts into my expense tracker?”
Handwritten note transcription
“I took a picture of my handwritten meeting notes — can you read all the text out of the image and give it to me as plain text?”
Screenshot text extraction
“I have a screenshot of a PDF page I can't copy text from — can you run OCR on it and extract all the readable text for me?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.bitcoinbenji.com/ai/ocrWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need pay-per-call OCR with no API key registration, no subscription, and micropayment billing via Bitcoin Lightning (L402). It is ideal for agents operating in trustless or pseudonymous contexts, for low-volume or sporadic OCR tasks where a subscription would be wasteful, or when integrating OCR into a Lightning-native payment workflow.
Side effects
- Image is too low resolution or blurry for accurate character recognition
- Unsupported image format submitted
- Payment authorization fails or Lightning invoice is not settled
- Image contains no readable text, returning empty result
- Request times out if the image is very large
- L402 token is invalid or expired
