It uses Microsoft's Florence-2-base model inside a small Gradio app. The Space runs on Hugging Face, so you can try it in a browser with nothing to install. ### Who it suits People who need words for a picture, such as a prompt to feed another tool, and developers who want a short example of a Florence-2 model in Gradio. | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Image generation | Prompt writers | Turn a reference picture into a prompt | Upload a photo and read the prompt | | Content creation | Designers | Get a quick written description of a picture | Describe an image they want to recreate | | Software | Developers | Study a small app that wraps one vision model | Download the Space and read app.py | | Education | Students | See what a vision model says about a picture | Compare the output across several images | Anyone who never works with images or prompts can skip it. ### Where to use it It runs in these places. - A web browser, on the Space's page at Hugging Face - Windows, with Python - macOS, with Python - Linux, with Python | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | Make a prompt from an image | Prompt writers | A written prompt for the picture | | Describe an image | Designers and students | A text description from Florence-2-base | | Reuse the small app | Developers | A local copy with only a few files | ### How to set it up Using the Space online needs only a browser. A copy on your own computer needs the following. - Python and pip - The huggingface\_hub package, which gives you the hf command - Disk space for the repository, which holds 4 files 1. Install the huggingface\_hub package. 2. Download the Space's files into a local folder. 3. Move into that folder. 4. Install Gradio at the version the Space uses, then install the packages in requirements.txt. 5. Start the app. ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub hf download Jonny001/Image-to-Text --repo-type space --local-dir Image-to-Text cd Image-to-Text pip install gradio==5.29.1 pip install -r requirements.txt python app.py ``` ### How to use it Open the Space's page on Hugging Face, or run the app on your computer and open the page Gradio shows. Then upload an image and read the text it returns. ```sh python app.py ``` | Tool | What it does | | --- | --- | | app.py | The main file, it builds the Gradio page | | hf download | Copies the Space's files to your computer | | requirements.txt | Lists the Python packages the app needs | ### Example Open the Space in your browser and upload a photo of a lighthouse at dusk. You get back a line of text that describes the photo, which you can copy into another tool as a prompt. ### For newcomers and experts A prompt is the text you give an image tool to say what you want. This app goes the other way and writes one from a picture. The first small thing to try is the online Space with a photo you already have. The Space names one model, Florence-2-base from Microsoft, and the repository is only a few files. It is set to run on Hugging Face's cpu-basic hardware, so no GPU is named. Running a copy locally means installing Gradio 5.29.1 and the packages in requirements.txt. You upload an image → app.py passes it to Florence-2-base → The model writes a text prompt → The page shows the text ### Good to know The Space states no usage limits, so treat it as a small tool you can read and adapt. - License: mit - Cost to run: none named - Data it reaches: the image you upload, plus the Space files and model files that Hugging Face supplies - Hardware: the Space is set to cpu-basic at Hugging Face, and what your own computer needs is not stated ## README ````markdown # Image To Text Turns an uploaded image into a text prompt with the Florence-2-base model.
