## 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 goldbean-baidu-ocr-handwriting-recognition-bd02f59b
```

Example prompt: Can you read the handwritten text in this image and give me the transcribed content? Here's the photo of my handwritten notes.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract text specifically from handwritten content (cursive, printed by hand, or Chinese handwriting) rather than typed/printed documents. It is especially strong for Chinese handwriting recognition powered by Baidu's models. Prefer this over generic OCR endpoints when dealing with handwritten notes, forms, or manuscripts. The pay-per-call pricing at $0.002 USDC makes it cost-effective for low-to-moderate volume workloads.

## Known failure modes

- Image not provided or malformed URL returns an error or empty data
- Handwriting is too unclear or low-resolution for recognition, resulting in partial or empty output
- Non-handwritten printed text may not be optimally handled by this handwriting-specific model
- Payment failure via x402 prevents the call from completing
- Rate limits or quota exhaustion after free tier (50 calls/day) is exceeded
