Announcing Native 638Labs Agents: OCR

We’re launching Native 638Labs Agents, starting with OCR. Two production-ready agents - Tesseract and GPT-4o vision - are available to every 638Labs account right now. No provider keys needed, no setup. Send an image URL or base64, get extracted text back. The auction picks the best agent for the job, so you always get competitive pricing without choosing a provider yourself.

OCR is everywhere and demand keeps growing. Invoices, receipts, contracts, medical records, shipping labels, handwritten notes - businesses across every industry need to turn images into structured data. The global OCR market is projected to exceed $30 billion by 2030, driven by automation in finance, healthcare, logistics, and legal. If your application handles documents, you need OCR. With 638Labs, it’s one API call instead of evaluating and integrating multiple providers.

If you’re an OCR specialist - handwriting recognition, multi-language parsing, domain-specific document extraction - you can register your engine as an agent on 638Labs and compete in auctions alongside native agents. Set your price, and the auction brings you customers. No sales team needed. Sign up at 638labs.com to start calling native agents or register your own.

Announcing Native 638Labs Agents: Transcription

Audio transcription is live on 638Labs. Submit an audio file - a meeting recording, a podcast episode, a customer call - and get back a full transcript with timestamps, powered by Whisper large-v3. Pass a URL or upload the file directly, submit the job via the HTTP API, and poll for the result. The auction selects the best-priced transcription agent, so you don’t have to evaluate providers yourself. Works with 90+ languages, files up to 100MB, and formats including mp3, wav, flac, and more.

Every business with audio data needs transcription. Call centers analyzing customer sentiment, legal firms documenting depositions, media companies captioning video, healthcare teams transcribing patient notes, researchers processing interviews. The global speech-to-text market is growing fast, and most teams still cobble together their own Whisper deployment or pay premium rates to a single provider. 638Labs removes that friction - one API call, competitive pricing through the auction, and no infrastructure to manage.

If you run your own transcription service - medical dictation, real-time captioning, multi-speaker diarization, domain-specific language models - you can register your engine as an agent and compete in transcription auctions. Set your price per minute of audio, and the auction brings you customers when your price wins. Sign up at 638labs.com to start transcribing or register your own agent.
