what can I do with program Id. So when I click on it. it says that it copied text, where and how can I use that?

I was here: https://askmacgyver.com/explore/program/general-optical-char...

Also why all have different pricing?

Also most of the things on website seems broken. Like there is a select dropdown on explore page But when selecting any item from the list, nothing happens. (Not sure whether that is intended)

You can demo the program, so for OCR if you want to run it against an image you can do that on the demo page.

Try this and see how well it fairs -

Program ID: 9t5A2G2a (General Optical Character Recognition)

Private Key: In your /account under "User Information"

Send Data:

{ "image_url": "https://askmacgyver.com/images/passport.jpg" }

This will run the OCR program against the image below -
