Method Detail

getText

public abstract Map<Rectangle,String> getText()

After processing, this method should return a set of bounding boxes of regions within the image mapped to a String that contains the recognised text. If the OCR processor cannot extract regions (it just reads whatever image it's given), then the map can be singular with the rectangular bounding box the same as the image bounding box.

Returns:

A map of rectangle to string
