Does "LoadBinaryFile()" inside a calculation stage fulfill your requirement? Typically an OCR service would require you to read the file in as a binary, and then encode the binary file as Base64 before being POSTed to the API.

Alternatively, if these are standard-formatted images, you could open them in any basic image viewer and use Region Mode to OCR specific areas. If they're not, then @james.man's solution should do great.
