I was recently looking at the Tesseract module to help convert handwritten text into typed text, however I was wondering is there anything out there, or any code which would allow me to do it the other way? I would like to load up a piece of typed up text (pdf, word, even notepad), and be able to turn it into an object for manipulation.
In the long run, I'd like to be able to open up a pdf document, click on some text, edit it, then use tesseract to turn it back into typed text.
Thank you
Sam
