Pictures and Documents by API - Image Search, OCR, Alt Text

Pictures and documents

Pictures and files become words people can search for. These calls tell what a picture shows, read the text printed in it, turn documents into text and write alt text, the same work Opensolr does for the pictures and PDFs on your site.

Every call here goes to https://api.opensolr.com. Each picture read counts against the monthly AI allowance of the account that owns the index, and a picture read before costs nothing; the exact cost of each call is on API Quota.
