Limitations & Best Practices

Limitations

  • Maximum file size: 10MB
  • Supported language: Thai
  • PDF files: Up to 10 pages
  • Rate limit: 10 requests per second per API key

Best Practices

  1. Ensure good image quality for optimal results
  2. Use JPEG or PNG format for images
  3. Implement error handling for failed requests
  4. Cache responses when processing the same document multiple times
  5. Set appropriate timeouts for large files
