OCR Model Update An improved model is now available for Text Detection (OCR)

## Change **OCR Model Update** An improved model is now available for [Text Detection (OCR)](https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/detecting-text). The new model can be used with `TEXT_DETECTION` and `DOCUMENT_TEXT_DETECTION` features. The same model is used for requests sent to both features.**With the new model, the distribution of confidence scores of responses will change.** For more information, see [Service announcements](https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/service-announcements). Please note that you have 90 days from today to test the new model by specifying "builtin/latest" in the model field of the [Feature](https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/reference/rest/v1/Feature) object. At the end of that period, it will be promoted to the default model accessible as "builtin/stable". After that event, the original models will still be available for another 90 days using "builtin/legacy". If you encounter problems with this upgrade, please contact Vision API engineering team by submitting a ticket in the [private issue tracker](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=491447). ## Change Deprecate region forwarding In 90 days, specifying the location "us" or "eu" in the request to the global endpoint vision.googleapis.com will no longer be supported. Instead you should directly call the "us" or "eu" region endpoints (us-vision.googleapis.com or eu-vision.googleapis.com). You can find more information in the [Multi-regional support](https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/ocr#setting-the-location-using-the-api) section of the feature pages. ## Feature **New multi-regional support for features** The Vision API now offers multi-regional support (`us` and `eu`) for the `LABEL_DETECTION` and `SAFE_SEARCH` features.
