 Ready-to-use OCR with 70+ languages supported including Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Thai.
 
 ## What's new
+- 17 November 2020 - Version 1.2
+    - New language supports for Telugu and Kannada. These are experimental lite recognition models. Their file sizes are only around 7% of other models and they are ~6x faster at inference with CPU.
 - 12 October 2020 - Version 1.1.10
     - Faster `beamsearch` decoder (thanks @amitbcp)
     - Better code structure (thanks @susmith98)
