ConTextual visual text processorKeshav Iyengar

ConTextual visual text processor translates physical text, essential imagery, into electronic text. A “hardcopy” of a document is, as previously stated, essentially an image, and is thus useless to a computer in terms of data. This text processor renders it useful by capturing the image, parsing through it and synthesizing the images into electronic text – that is, recognizable characters to the computer. The recognizable text can then be manipulated, processed, stored, distributed and analyzed, among other things. Implementation does not have to encompass a brand new, independent device – the text processor can be integrated with available devices such as the Apple iPad or the Amazon Kindle.
