Is there any Java package to get coordinates of a string using OCR

[harry asir]

My main purpose is to get the coordinates of a word present in an
image file. For this is there any java OCR package?

Harry.
Yes there are java OCR.jar and .NET and also jboxeditor  in which co-ord of char can get. Relevant source codes for the said programs are also available at http://vietocr.sourceforge.net/.for download the said programs can be used for any other lang also.I hope your purpose will be  served.

Hi Sriranga,

I am using Tess4J with Java language. I am able to extract image. But
I am not able to extract coordinates of the text. Can you guide me how
to do this.

Regards,
Harry John Asir

You can get point coordinates of any filled area in an image with opencv using findcontours. A bit time consuming to learn how to do it but very helpful tool.

harry,
If you are generating image and box file containing co-ordination from the text file, you have to use jboxeditor ->tools ->generate tiff/box. Please forward sample of text with indication of which lang you. I will test it and feed back to you.
