Use Cases

Media processing in action

Real scenarios where AI extracts text from images, transcribes audio, and processes visual content through Astica AI integration.

Receipt Information Extraction

Customer photographs a receipt to submit an expense claim. Your AI Agent receives the image, calls Astica AI's OCR endpoint to extract merchant name, date, total amount, and line items, and auto-populates the expense form. Manual data entry from paper receipts becomes automated through image upload and intelligent extraction.

Voice Message Processing

Customer leaves a voice message describing their issue instead of typing. Your AI Agent calls Astica AI's Analyze Audio endpoint with the audio file, transcribes the spoken content to text, and processes the request based on the transcription. Voice-based support becomes searchable and actionable.

Document Text Digitization

User uploads a scanned contract or form needing data extraction. Your AI Agent calls the asticaVision API with the document image, extracts text including handwritten sections using advanced OCR, and retrieves specific fields. Paper document processing that required manual reading happens through automated vision analysis.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent extract text from images?

The agent calls asticaVision's OCR endpoint with the image URL or Base64 data. The API returns extracted text with word-level bounding boxes. Model version 2.0_full or higher is required for OCR support. Results include position coordinates for each detected word.

Can the agent transcribe audio in multiple formats?

Yes. Astica AI's Analyze Audio accepts WAV and MP3 files via HTTPS URL or Base64 encoding. The speech-to-text model processes the audio and returns full transcription. Streaming mode provides partial results for longer files.

What API credentials does Tars need for Astica AI?

Tars requires your Astica API key (tkn parameter). Generate this from your Astica AI account. The key authenticates requests to vision and audio endpoints. Usage is billed per request based on Astica's compute credit system.

Does Tars store images or audio processed through Astica?

No. Tars sends media to Astica's API for processing and receives only the extracted text or transcription. Original images and audio files are not stored by Tars. All media processing occurs in Astica's infrastructure.

Can the agent read handwritten text from images?

Yes. Astica's OCR capabilities include handwritten text recognition. The text_read parameter returns detected handwriting along with printed text. Accuracy varies based on handwriting legibility and image quality.

What happens with low-quality images or audio?

The agent processes available content and returns what can be extracted. For images, blurry or low-resolution sections may have reduced accuracy. For audio, background noise affects transcription quality. The agent reports confidence levels when available.

How is this different from standard image uploads?

Standard uploads just store files. Astica AI integration extracts actionable information from media. Your agent understands image content and spoken words, enabling automated workflows based on document data and voice requests.

Can the agent process multiple images in one conversation?

Yes. The agent can call the OCR endpoint for each image sequentially. Each image is processed independently and results can be combined. For bulk processing, consider batch workflows with consolidated results.
