12.14 azcv ocr

For printed text from which we want to perform optical character recognition (i.e., not for handwritten text which only supports English), we can assist the process by specifying the language. Whilst this is supported by the cloud service it is not yet available for the ocr command. Edit ~/.mlhub/azcv/ocr.py to change the line:

            rawHttpResponse = client.read_in_stream(fstream, raw=raw)

to the following, adding a language, such as Dutch (nl):

            rawHttpResponse = client.read_in_stream(fstream, language="nl", raw=raw)

Then run the ocr command again. Remember to change it back for general usage.
