## 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 geld-machen-image-ocr-fb3cd540
```

Example prompt: Can you extract all the text from this image for me? Here's the URL: https://example.com/receipt.jpg — use English as the language.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a cheap ($0.01), fast OCR call on a single image URL or base64 image and Tesseract accuracy is sufficient. Good for screenshots, printed text, receipts, and signs in English. Not ideal for handwriting, complex layouts, or non-Latin scripts beyond Tesseract's language packs.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible image URL returns an error
- Non-image URLs (HTML pages, PDFs) may return empty or garbled text
- Low-resolution or blurry images produce poor OCR accuracy
- Unsupported language codes may fall back to English or fail
- Base64 payload too large may time out or be rejected
- Private/authenticated image URLs cannot be fetched
