Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.

3-2Innovating with Google Cloud Artificial Intelligence

A company needs text pulled from scanned PDF invoices, some of which carry handwriting. Which Vision API feature is optimized for that?

Document text detectionCorrect · your answerCorrect. It also wins when both are requested.
Crop hint detectionCrop hints suggest framing rather than reading.
Text detectionText detection is tuned for sparse text in images.
Label detectionLabel detection returns topic labels, never text.

Correct.

Concept

Two features can read the same signal and still differ in what they assume about density and layout. Picking the one tuned to your input decides the accuracy you get.

Why A

Document text detection is optimized for document files in PDF or TIFF form, for dense areas of text in an image, and for images that contain handwriting.

Source

Document text detection (dense text / handwriting) Optical character recognition (OCR) for a file (PDF/TIFF) or dense text image; dense text recognition and conversion to machine-coded text. Files : Optimized for document files (PDF/TIFF). Images : Optimized for dense areas of text in an image (images that are documents), and images that contain handwriting.
