Abstract: Offline text detection is a research area where the scanned images containing printed text have been considered as input and then processed to convert the text into digital form that can be understandable and further manipulated by the computer system. In these applications the major difficulty is to segment the area containing text and then after segmentation extracting the meaning of symbols present in the segmented area. The later step is known as classification of characters and words. In this paper a system has been proposed and implemented based on convolution neural network (CNN) classifier to extract the handwritten text from the scanned images. The targeted text has been considered to be written with the help of Roman script means English language. Classifier performed well and produced results at character level up to 97% perfection.
