Plate Blur & Vehicle Analysis Bot

@platereader_bot processes car photos and videos to automatically detect and blur license plates, identify vehicles, and return structured data. It works with single or multiple images sent at once, and supports video blur in beta.

What the bot does

• License plate blurring — plates are detected and blurred in your image or video
• Vehicle detections — bounding boxes and labels for detected objects
• Cropped regions — individual crops of detected plates or vehicles
• JSON output — structured detection data returned alongside the processed image
• OCR — reads plate text; region can be set with /region (e.g. europe)

Supported input formats

• JPG or JPEG photos from your gallery or camera
• JPG/JPEG/PNG files attached as documents (PNG is converted to JPEG automatically)
• Videos sent as a video or file (up to 20 MB, up to 120 seconds) — beta feature
• Multiple photos sent at once are handled in a single batch response

Credits and commands

The bot uses a credits system. Key commands:

• /blur — configure plate blurring settings
• /region — set the OCR region for better plate recognition accuracy
• /buy — purchase credits
• /balance — check your current credit balance
• /help — full usage instructions
• /consent — optionally help improve detection quality

Video processing costs 1 credit per second. During the beta period, the first 30 seconds of video per month may be processed at no cost.
