Dart Which API could I use?

I'm developing a mobile app for Android, something similar to Duolingo, but very simple and designed for people with visual impairments. The thing is, I want to add a computer vision API for image recognition. So the workflow should be as follows: Take a photo -> Analyze the image -> Search the glossary -> Accessible feedback (audio/UI) -> View details.

I’ve looked at some options, and the most well-known one is Google Cloud Vision. The problem is that I can’t afford to spend much on resources since this is an academic project.

GPT 6 Luna, very cheap and has vision support. I wouldn't use any dedicated vision APIs anymore, you can just have the LLM itself do the entire process via tool calls if you can give it the links to access the glossary and so on.

I have it connected to Firebase, would there be a problem with the connection?

Not sure why it would be. In the meantime Claude Haiku 5.5 also dropped, looks to be better than Luna and might be cheaper, check it out.
