+ Returns a {{Promise}} that resolves with an {{Availability}} object + indicating the overall availability status for the specified |options| languages for text + detection. +

+ The returned {{Availability}} value is determined by the following precedence, + applied across all requested languages: +

+
    +
  • If any requested language is "unavailable", the method returns + "unavailable".
    • +
  • Otherwise, if any requested language is "downloadable", the method + returns "downloadable".

+ This factory method handles the asynchronous initialization of the + text detector, including downloading necessary resources.
