Google Cloud Vision - Is there a way to automatically decide between using DOCUMENT_TEXT_DETECTION and TEXT_DETECTION?

Question

I am looking for a way to call Google as few times as possible so I am wondering if there is a way for Google to automatically decide weather to use TEXT_DETECTION or DOCUMENT_TEXT_DETECTION through Python Cloud Vision client?

There's no way for this, since the client uses different methods for each type.

You can fill a feature request regarding this scenario on the following link if you consider this would be helpful to you.

The Cloud Vision API has no way to determine which is the "best" detection method to use -- this is for you to decide.
