Unable to find ocr link in computer vision API services.

Question

Nithin Reddy 1

I've recently subscribed to azure vision API services. I'm able to find subscription key and endpoint but unable to find text recognition (OCR) link.

subscription_key = ""
endpoint = ""
text_recognition_url = endpoint + ""

I'm running in python and location is central India.

@Nithin Reddy The details are available on your computer recognition resource on Azure portal. The details should be on the Keys and Endpoints tab.

Please copy and replace these in your code and try to run the script you are using. Thanks!!

I have those keys and endpoint. I'm asking about the text recognition URL for OCR.

subscription_key = ""
endpoint = ""
text_recognition_url = endpoint + ""
There'll be some URL like vision2.1/read etc. I'm unable to find that.

@Nithin Reddy You can use the OCR API reference:

https://{endpoint}/vision/v3.1/ocr[?language][&detectOrientation]

or

Read API reference:

https://{endpoint}/vision/v3.1/read/analyze[?language]

or

Try the API console directly to test your images.

What should I keep language?

The Read call has an optional request parameter for language. Read supports auto language identification and multilingual documents, so only provide a language code if you would like to force the document to be processed as that specific language.
