Remember Google Cloud Vision is free for the first 1000 calls every month.

@Peter thank you for this information, actually I also didn't know about that.

This extension is just fun time activity, we can add more cloud vision functionality also.

You can have 1000 label detection, 1000 text detection, 1000 logo detection, etc for free every month. So for testing this should be sufficient.

It works for me but for the first API call only. For the next one, I have to regenerate an API key and restart the application

Thank you so much for this extension, is working really good. Could be possible to add another block for detecting objects in the image? would be really usefull, thanks!

Thanks for making this extension. I'm trying to use this for a "image classification" app where we can post an image and get some facts (labels) about the image etc. Can I use this ? would be nice to have a sample code . thanks

13

Is there any aia file

First of first, you need to get a API key.

Please share sample code hiding API key

I did not use this extension, but it only has several blocks:

When Screen.Initialized
set GCV.APIkey to xxxx

When button.Clicked
call GCV.DetectText image (your image url)

When GCV.TextDetected
set label.Text to text.
