The service supports JPEG and PNG files for\nimages.\n\nBefore you begin\n----------------\n\nBefore you can start using the OCR API, you must have a project\nwith the OCR API enabled and have the appropriate credentials.\nYou can also install client libraries to help you make calls to the API. For\nmore information, see [Set up a character recognition project](/distributed-cloud/hosted/docs/latest/appliance/application/ao-user/vai-set-up-ocr).\n\nDetect text from JPEG and PNG files\n-----------------------------------\n\nThe `BatchAnnotateImages` method detects text from a batch of JPEG or PNG files.\nYou send the file from which you want to detect text directly as content in the\nAPI request. The system returns the resulting detected text in JSON format in\nthe API response.\n\nYou must specify values for the fields in the JSON body of your API request. The\nfollowing table contains a description of the request body fields you must\nprovide when you use the `BatchAnnotateImages` API method for your text\ndetection requests:\n\n### Make an API request\n\nMake a request to the OCR pre-trained API using the REST API\nmethod. Otherwise, interact with the OCR pre-trained API from a\nPython script to detect text from JPEG or PNG files.\n| **Note:** The `BatchAnnotateImages` API method only supports a single request per batch call.\n\nThe following examples show how to detect text in an image using\nOCR: \n\n### REST\n\nFollow these steps to detect text in images using the REST API method:\n\n1.
