Read text from an image with OpenVibe.Vision's local Tesseract 5 reader: POST /api/v1/ocr returns the text, mean confidence and word boxes at zero cost, anonymously. \`fallback\` asks OpenVibe.AI only when the local pass found no usable text, and that fallback needs a signed-in person or this capability.
