In this tutorial, you will learn how to use Video Text Detection API in 5 minutes using JavaScript. Eden AI provides an easy and developer-friendly API that allows you to extract text in videos.
Text Detection API in video refers to the process of identifying and extracting text from videos. It involves using computer vision and optical character recognition (OCR) techniques to analyze the frames of a video and detect any text present within them.
The first step is to set Axios, a promise-based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js, that will allow you to call Eden AI API.
