A Simple Effective Algorithm on Text Recognition System

Abstract

Text recognition system is read text from images and store text for future use. It is oldest research area in
image processing. Now a day there is a huge demand in storing the information available in paper documents format
in to a computer storage disk and then later reusing this information by searching process. When we want store
information as image in our computer system, first scan the documents and then store them as images. But to reuse
this information it is very difficult. We will read the individual contents and searching the contents form these
documents line-by-line and word-by-word. Thus there is a need of Text recognition system to perform Document
Image Analysis (DIA) which transforms documents in paper format to electronic text format. In this paper we have
applied simple and effective technique and getting better result than available recognition method. The challenges
involved in this the font characteristics of the texts in paper documents and quality of images.
