`POST /v1/nikud`

Add full nikud (vowel points) to Hebrew text: for vocalized display, learning materials, and text-to-speech, where unvocalized Hebrew is ambiguous. `text` up to 10,000 characters. English terms and numbers are left untouched, and the result is checked: `verified: true` means removing the points gives back your text (only the vowel letters ו and י may differ, which does not change pronunciation). When `verified` is false, `nikud` is your text unchanged; send it to speech unvocalized or retry.

POST /v1/nikud   { "text": "שלום עולם" }
{ "text": "שלום עולם", "nikud": "שָׁלוֹם עוֹלָם", "verified": true }
