        description: Optional, preprocessing mode, default is 'Auto'.  Possible values are None (no preprocessing of the image), SmoothEdges, SmoothEdgesPlus, and Auto (automatic image enhancement of the image - including automatic unrotation of the image - before OCR is applied; this is recommended).  Set this to 'None' if you do not want to use automatic image unrotation and enhancement.  Set to SmoothEdges to smooth harsh edges in the input image to enhance recognition accuracy.  Set to SmoothEdgesPlus to smooth harsh edges to a higher degree.
