## 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 hebrew-text-normalizer-strip-niqqud-transliterate-df094524
```

Example prompt: Strip the niqqud from this Hebrew text and give me a rough transliteration: שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically strip Hebrew vowel diacritics (niqqud) and/or get a rough phonetic Latin-script rendering of Hebrew text, particularly in NLP preprocessing, search indexing, or display contexts. It is pay-per-call ($0.005 USDC) with no subscription required.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'text' query parameter returns an error
- Input exceeding 2000 characters is rejected
- Non-Hebrew or empty text may produce empty or identity output
- Payment failure (402) if USDC/x402 payment is not attached

## How this service works

Pay-per-call utility APIs in USDC on Base: Hebrew calendar and text tools, Shabbat times, Base token control-risk screen and address summary, plus finance arithmetic tools. General information and arithmetic only; not investment, tax or legal advice and not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold anything.

## Output

A JSON object containing the original input text, the Hebrew string with niqqud removed, and a rough Latin-script transliteration of the word or phrase.
