This is an online version of the state-of-the-art (2008) text detector.
It runs text detection on the uploaded image and mark the text area using red boxes.
Currently TIF, BMP and JPG images are supported.
This program only does the text detection. Post processing, layout analysis and OCR are not included here.
A more powerful version that actually recognizes the texts can be found at http://lx2000.3322.org/textdt
