Jev Eyes

Highlights

  • Jev is text-only, so jev-eyes converts an image into the text state it can decide over — locally — and returns it as a plain dict you can inspect.
  • The state includes OCR text in reading order (same-row blocks joined by two spaces) and the same words on a character grid, so Jev can answer where things are.
  • jev-eyes see screenshot.png --show runs without an API key; ask(image, questions) does both steps when TYPESAFE_API_KEY is set.
  • Python integration is one new line: pass see("screenshot.png") as the state to TypeSafeClient().system_one(...) with Noul and Choice questions.
  • The README shows a needs_vision Noul as a gate for escalating to a VLM only when the extracted text is insufficient to describe the image.

Quickstart

bash
pip install jev-eyes
jev-eyes see screenshot.png --show

Watch out

Copy reviewed against the truncated README on 2026-10-15; the excerpt cuts off inside the list of what the state contains. The PyPI install line carries the README's own note that a git install is needed until the PyPI release lands.
