Pretrained computer vision classifier

Identify highlighted text with one API call.

A pretrained highlighted text classifier that sorts an image into one of 2 categories. Use the highlighted text API immediately, no training required, then adapt it to your own data when you need more.

What this highlighted text classifier recognizes

A sample of the 2 labels this pretrained classifier chooses between.

Highlighted
Non-Highlighted

Need a label that isn't here? Clone the classifier into your Nyckel console and edit the label set to fit your data.

Call the highlighted text API

Once you've added this classifier to your console, you get your own copy of it behind your own endpoint. Invoke it with any HTTP client:

curl

curl -X POST "https://www.nyckel.com/v1/functions/YOUR_FUNCTION_ID/invoke" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NYCKEL_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"data": "https://example.com/photo.jpg"}'

Python

import requests

# Get an access token: https://www.nyckel.com/docs/api/overview/authentication/
token = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"

response = requests.post(
    "https://www.nyckel.com/v1/functions/YOUR_FUNCTION_ID/invoke",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer " + token},
    json={"data": "https://example.com/photo.jpg"},
)
print(response.json())

Example response

{
  "labelName": "Highlighted",
  "labelId": "label_...",
  "confidence": 0.92
}

Under the hood

Model type
Nyckel-trained

Trained on a Nyckel-curated dataset covering 2 highlighted text categories, served on Nyckel's own infrastructure — your image stays on Nyckel.

Input
Image

Send an image URL or file to the invoke endpoint; the response is a label with a confidence score.

Make it yours
Adaptable

Clone it, then correct predictions and add your own samples in the console — Nyckel retrains automatically, turning this into a custom model tuned to your data.

More than a demo: this page is one of thousands of pretrained functions on Nyckel, an ML classification platform. You can invoke classifiers by API, review predictions, correct labels, collect samples from production traffic, and promote any pretrained function to a private custom model — without changing your integration.

Where teams use highlighted text classification

Document Review Automation

This function can be employed in the legal sector to automatically identify highlighted text in contracts and agreements. By streamlining the review process, legal professionals can focus on critical sections of documents, enhancing efficiency and reducing the risk of missing important information.

Educational Assessment Tools

Educational platforms can use this feature to scan and evaluate student assignments for critical quotes or highlighted material. This can augment feedback mechanisms, ensuring that educators can provide targeted advice based on the most emphasized concepts by students.

Content Curation for Marketing

Marketers can implement this function to analyze customer feedback and insights documents where certain points are highlighted. This can help extract key trends and preferences more effectively, guiding content creation and promotional strategies.

User Interface Enhancement

Software applications that support text editing could leverage this function to improve user experience by making it easier to locate highlighted text within documents. This would save users time and make interactions more intuitive, particularly for large volumes of text.

Research Paper Analysis

Academic researchers can utilize this functionality to process numerous research papers and extract highlighted findings or key arguments. This would significantly enhance literature review processes, allowing researchers to synthesize information quicker and more accurately.

Compliance Monitoring

Financial institutions can employ this binary classification function to monitor highlighted text within regulatory documents. By ensuring that specific regulations or compliance-related highlights are accurately identified, organizations can reduce risks associated with non-compliance.

News and Media Analysis

Media organizations can use this capability to scan articles for highlighted quotes or statements from sources. This can help journalists quickly identify key themes or trends in reporting, facilitating deeper analysis and more insightful storytelling.

Common questions

What's the difference between a zero-shot and a Nyckel-trained classifier?

A zero-shot classifier uses a large foundation model's general knowledge to pick between your labels — no task-specific training, so new or edited labels work immediately. A Nyckel-trained classifier has been trained on labeled examples and runs on Nyckel's own infrastructure, which typically makes it faster, cheaper per call, and more accurate on data that resembles its training set. The "Under the hood" section on this page shows which kind this classifier is, and any classifier can be adapted into a trained one by adding your own examples.

How do I know whether this will work for my application?

Honestly: we can't know in advance — it depends on your data stream and how closely it resembles what this classifier has seen. The reliable way to find out is to measure it on your own data: start invoking the classifier with real traffic, or upload and annotate a set of images in the console — make sure they look like your production data, not idealized examples. Nyckel's evaluation metrics then show you exactly how it performs on that data before you rely on it.

What happens when it makes a mistake?

No classifier is perfect, so Nyckel is built around the correction loop: invokes can be captured for review, you confirm or correct predictions in the console, and corrections become training data. Over time the model adapts to your data distribution — accuracy on your traffic improves with use rather than staying fixed.

Do I need training data to get started?

No. This highlighted text classifier works out of the box — clone it into your console and you'll have your own API endpoint in under a minute. Training data only enters the picture when you want to adapt it: your corrected predictions and uploaded samples improve the model, and you can also edit the label set to match your needs.

What does it cost to try?

Trying the classifier on this page is free with no signup. Cloning it requires a free account, and the free tier covers your first API calls each month — see nyckel.com/pricing for current limits and paid tiers.

Ready to classify highlighted text at scale?

Add this pretrained classifier to your Nyckel console — you'll get a live API endpoint in under a minute, and a path to a custom model when you need one.
