⚠️ Important Note regarding Video OCR:
This feature leverages the industry-leading Google Cloud Vision API to ensure maximum accuracy.
To use this feature, you must provide your own "Google Cloud Vision API Key" in the settings.
* You need to register with the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to get a key.
* GCP requires billing information (Credit Card) for identity verification, even for the free tier.
* For personal use, the free tier typically covers 1,000 requests per month (subject to Google's pricing policies).
