.SH "DESCRIPTION"

\fB(ALPHA)\fR Detect and extract text within an image.

Google Cloud Vision uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to detect text
within an image, with support for a broad array of languages and automatic label
detection.

Language hints can be provided to Google Cloud Vision API. In most cases, an
empty value yields the best results since it enables automatic language
detection. For languages based on the Latin alphabet, setting
\f5language_hints\fR is not needed. Text detection returns an error if one or
more of the specified languages is not one of the supported languages. (See
https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/languages.) To provide language hints run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud alpha ml vision detect\-text \-\-language\-hints ja,ko
.RE




.SH "EXAMPLES"

To detect and extract text within an image 'gs://my_bucket/input_file':

.RS 2m
$ gcloud alpha ml vision detect\-text gs://my_bucket/input_file

.SH "POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fIIMAGE_PATH\fR

Path to the image to be analyzed. This can be either a local path or a URL. If
you provide a local file, the contents will be sent directly to Google Cloud
Vision. If you provide a URL, it must be in Google Cloud Storage format
(gs://bucket/object) or an HTTP URL (http://... or https://...)
