    The ComputerVisionAPI.OCRTextV2 function expects an image in a special format, but you're giving it text (a URL), which it doesn't understand.
    Can you try giving it the actual image (not just a link)? If you're using a camera or an uploaded file, pass the image object instead of a text URL.
    For example if you're using a camera
    Set(
        OCRResult,
        ComputerVisionAPI.OCRTextV2(
            {
                Image: CameraControl.Photo,  // Use the image captured by the camera
                Language: "en",              // Language for text
                DetectOrientation: true      // Automatically detect text orientation
            }
        )
    );
    If you have a file or image try to use a method to upload or directly reference the binary data of the image (check how you’re storing or uploading the image).

    Before trying with an image from a web address, I already tried with an image obtained from a camera and then from the image upload control, however I still get the same message.
    "Invalid argument type (Image). Expecting a UntypedObject value instead.", the image is supposed to be in the correct format already.
