// synchronous API

var text = textDetector.getTextSync('/sample/path/to/a/file');

// skip the region detection
var text = textDetector.getTextSync('/sample/path/to/a/file', false);

// asynchronous API

// detects text in the image at the given path.
textDetector.getText('/sample/path/to/a/file', function (err, text) {
