## 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 workbot1-oddsys-org-ocr-standard-up-to-25-pages-36d0252b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you OCR this scanned PDF for me and give me the plain text? It's a machine-printed English document, about 10 pages — here's the file.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract text from a scanned or image-based PDF of up to 25 pages containing English machine-printed content. It also handles text-layer PDFs efficiently. For documents over 25 pages, use the high-page-count sibling endpoint. For text-layer-only PDFs where OCR is unnecessary, the dedicated PDF text extraction endpoint is faster.

## Known failure modes

- PDF exceeds 25 pages — use the high-page-count sibling endpoint instead
- Handwritten or non-English documents may produce poor OCR quality
- Corrupt or password-protected PDFs may fail to process
- Low-resolution scans may result in garbled or incomplete text
- Network or payment errors may prevent the call from completing

## How this service works

OCR a scanned PDF into clean text (Tesseract, English, machine-printed documents). Up to 25 pages per call. PDFs that turn out to have a text layer are extracted the fast way at the same price.

## Output

Returns clean extracted text from the scanned PDF (or from the text layer if one exists). Up to 25 pages are processed per call, using Tesseract for English machine-printed documents.
