A Framework to Detect Digital Text Using Android Based Smartphone

Abstract

In this technology 2.0, there is a huge demand for storing knowledge available in paper documents format into a hardware disk. Text recognition application is an application of this modern technology era that attempts to develop an automatic data processing (ADP) system with the flexibility to automatically read the text from images. Using this application, one can reuse this information by the searching process. One simple method to store information from these paper documents into a computer system is to first scan the paper documents and to store them as images. But to reuse this information, it s totally difficult to read the individual contents and searching the contents form these documents line-by-line and word-by-word. The challenges involved during this are the font characteristics of the characters in the paper documents and standard of the images. To overcome these challenges, there is a need of an application called text recognition application. In this paper, we have discussed about the text recognition application which uses the recognition mechanisms to convert the documents in paper format to electronic format. For this, we are using android studio as a tool to develop an android based application to extract the text from images. The objective of this paper is to help others to get rid of their difficulties by making the process smooth. The application which we made will help students to copy their missed E-documents, assignments and laboratory records while submitting all in time. By this, filling up the form will become easier also. Along with this, we can make our on line bill payment mechanism and digital on line payment system smoother.
