# Get frame OCR (deprecated)

`GET /frames/{frame_id}/ocr`

Get frame text positions with bounding boxes for a specific frame.
Uses accessibility tree node bounds when available, and OCR fallback positions for visual-only or legacy frames.
Both OCR and accessibility bounds are normalized to 0-1 relative to the
monitor (full-screen capture), so they align correctly with the screenshot.
