## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a simple, pay-per-call microservice to strip German umlaut characters from text strings for ASCII compatibility — ideal for URL slug generation, file naming, search indexing, or any pipeline that can't handle UTF-8 German characters without a dedicated preprocessing step.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'text' field in request body returns an error
- Non-string input type causes processing failure
