Extracting handwritten text

To use this method, install handwriting recognition model in your project.

Aspose.OCR offers a special recognition algorithm for extracting handwritten text from images. It supports a number of European languages based on Extended Lain alphabet. Handwritten recognition has various business, government and personal applications:

• Extract text from notes, memos and letters.
• Convert historical records and documents into digital formats for archival purposes.
• Parse resumes and employee records.
• Analyze information from handwritten inventory lists to maintain accurate and up-to-date databases.
• Analyze customer feedback and reviews to gain insights into customer preferences.
• And many more.

To extract handwritten text from images, use recognize_handwritten_text() method of AsposeOcr class.

The method takes OcrInput object and returns OcrOutput object containing the text from images.

import aspose.ocr as ocr
# Initialize an instance of Aspose.OCR API
api = ocr.AsposeOcr()
# Add image to the recognition batch
input = ocr.OcrInput(ocr.InputType.SINGLE_IMAGE)
input.add("memo.jpg")
# Extract and show text
results = api.recognize_handwritten_text(input)
print(results[0].recognition_text)
