Reads the text in images (PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIFF and more) and scanned or born-di

Reads the text in images (PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIFF and more) and scanned or born-digital PDFs with OCR, in 100+ languages, and returns the text per file and per page with confidence scores. Up to 10 files a call. Priced per page allowance: files x maxPagesPerFile (default 5, at most 20) x $0.005. Runs nerolabs/bulk-ocr-image-pdf-to-text; can take a minute or two.

Paid test badge: not yet. The checks above are free: we call the tool without paying and read the payment request it sends back. The Verified badge needs paid calls whose answers match the promised output, and nobody can buy a badge.
