You can pass ocr=true in our upload endpoint, but if you forgot to do so, you can use this endpoint to perform OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on a document after it is uploaded without consuming additional API credits. To use this you need docId of the document.
Timeout Limit: 300 seconds
File Size Limit: 50 MB
If the document has a large number of pages, the OCR process may result in a timeout error
