PDF with handwritten text to CSV

 Hello,

Will your API help us to read the handwritten contents from a PDF file?


Best Answer

Dear Prakash,


If you can extract svg paths from your PDF file, then our engine will be able to recognize your text.

If all you have is an image, it will not be able to recognize because MyScript technology is not an OCR.

Dear Prakash,


Our SDK does not manipulating PDF content. This should be done in your side.

What you can do is:

    - extract the strokes from the PDF

    - convert the strokes to a pointerEvent list

    - send these pointerEvents to a "Raw Content" part, via the Editor::pointerEvents() API


You may need to set the raw-content.recognition.text configuration variable to true.


Some of these links may be usefull:
