The text recognition service running on the cloud recognizes text with a higher accuracy than that running on the device. However, the on-cloud one is unable to support text recognition from camera streams and cannot work in synchronous mode. If you want to use the text recognition service on the cloud, please refer to Enabling the Service to Enabling Services.
