@all and just in case. Also see my TiRG project (since 2011-01-31): http://sourceforge.net/projects/tirg/ It's for detecting and localizing textareas in raster graphics. Among its files there is a python script -- absolutely working. Enjoy to do with it whatever you like -- it's my public domain.
And again and this theme is a rich field for speculating about, over "What on the earth is the text?" question. Is 50 in a row letters 'o' some text or is it just a part of some fancy Indian ornament? And so on, etc. PS Don't confuse it with OCR. It's 2 different beasts. === -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
