I am having an issue with detecting Hindi fonts using Google Vision API OCR service. The documentatio says that Hindi is supported.

When I drag and drop an image on their demo page (https://cloud.google.com/vision/), it works flawlessly. However, when I make an API call for the same image, it gives me Korean characters.

I am using their PHP client from github to make the API callls.

I have tested some other foreign languages like Japanese/Chinese. Those seem to be working fine.

Is there something I am missing here?

  • Let the google vision know the language upfront. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49096942/how-to-improve-google-vision-results-while-detecting-a-text-on-an-image-if-we-kn/49112475#49112475 – ExtractTable.com Apr 04 '18 at 14:10

  • It is not possible to specify the language upfront. This is clearly some bug because it works on their demo page. Only when I try to use API, it fails. It is ridiculous that they don't have any customer support unless I upgrade my account by paying more. I am already paying for the API access. Only Google can get away with such a terrible customer service. – hvs Apr 05 '18 at 17:20
