Convert a scanned image into words with location

POST

/ocr/image/to/lines-with-location

Converts an uploaded image in common formats such as JPEG, PNG into lines/text with location information and other metdata via Optical Character Recognition. This API is intended to be run on scanned documents. If you want to OCR photos (e.g. taken with a smart phone camera), be sure to use the photo/toText API instead, as it is designed to unskew the image first. Note: for free tier API keys, it is required to add a credit card to your account for security reasons, to use the free tier key with this API.
