I have 100s of images in different languages that I need to OCR. Presently, I need to know in advance the language of the image and pass the language paramater (for ex. -l deu or -l dan).
Is their a way where I can get to somehow figure out language of the image auto magically? 
It is weird but it will save me lot of time from manually picking up and checking each and every image.

Any solution, suggestion or workaround will be very helpful!

Try ocr in google drive, it auto detects the languages.

Thanks for the reply, but I am looking for a solution which I can integrate into my custom application.
I have no idea, if I can make use of google drive application for this purpose.

No. Tesseract needs for correct OCR result specification of language of input image
