Abstract: Nowadays, almost everybody is capable of clicking digital pictures using their smartphones. Social media has provided them a platform to share them with outside world. Some images contain text written in scripts which seems foreign to others. There has been a lot of work done on extracting that text from that image. We in this paper, have proposed a method to bring that a little bit forward. We intend to build the real time text extraction using Googles Tesseract open source OCR engine as well as the script conversion from the clicked image instantly. Performance is evaluated on the basis of a specially designed android application.
