(PHP ActiveX) Google Cloud Vision Text Detection

Demonstrates calling the Google Cloud Vision for text detection (performs Optical Character Recognition). "Detects and extracts text within an image with support for a broad range of languages. It also features automatic language identification." See https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/detecting-text
