improvement request: com.google.android.gms.vision.text should return the confidence level

[javalc6]

The google OCR vision text API do not return the confidence level related to the recognized textblock.
This information would be useful to drop textblocks with low confidence level.

An issue I found is that characters like £ & ( ) and others are sometime wrongly recognized as letters or numbers...

Yeah confidence is greatly required as there are frequent errors in detection. Also at a character level information about what other characters with lower confidence were detected would be great.

I just started using Google's Vision library and really like the results.
However, I was also looking for some kind of confidence level/score. Is there anything available yet?
Any news at all?
