Ocr API with original font
Hello all you Rockstars who are building fantastic solutions and helping this world become a better place.
I have a query it you coul please help..
I want to extract text from an image and I want it in original font I.e I don't want the api to convert it into any other font, are aware of such apis that are available.
Would be great if you could share your experience or any pointers would help.
Thanks
My friend was facing a similar issue like this, he then contacted an OCR vendor who proved to be beneficial for his business as they provide custom OCR solutions. You should definitely take help from some custom service providers
Don't know if I understand that correctly, do you mean determine the font in an image and then get the exact font name plus the font file so that you can use that to create different text?
Your understanding is correct benvp, basically what I'm looking for is to determine the exact original font from the image. I need the original font basically and changing it to different text is secondary.
Allow me to explain with an example: if there is an image with text, I'm looking for an API that extracts the exact original text without converting it into any default font like Arial, calibri, etc.
I must be misunderstanding something.
You are describing exactly how standard OCR APIs work. They scan the text from an image (regardless of the font) and then return plain text to you.
He wants to get both the text and the font used to print the text in the image. Most OCRs will get you only the text but not the font.
