## 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 image-to-text-converter-ocr-vision-description-146cfb61 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you extract all the text from this image for me? Here's the URL: https://example.com/receipt.jpg — use OCR mode and give me the plain text output.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to extract text from an image (OCR) or generate a natural-language description of an image via a vision model. It supports promptable vision queries, making it flexible for both pure OCR tasks and AI-driven image understanding. Prefer this over a generic OCR service when you also need descriptive or semantic image analysis in one call.

## Known failure modes

- Image URL is unreachable or returns a non-image response — extraction fails
- Image is too low resolution or blurry for reliable OCR
- Unsupported image format passed as input
- Vision model fails to interpret unusual or abstract imagery
- Missing required 'input' field returns a validation error
- Payment not fulfilled — x402 payment required error returned

## Output

Returns the extracted text transcript (OCR) or a natural-language description of the image contents, depending on the mode or prompt supplied. Output is plain text or structured text derived from the image.
