In the modern era of image processing, recognizing
content or information from an image is process of electronic
conversion into machine encoded text. Advanced systems that are
capable of producing high accuracy for multi-font recognition are
now becoming commonplace, and with the support of digital
consent formatting. Some programs are able to retrieve formats
that are very close to the original page including images, columns,
and other non-text items. Proposed system is able to recognize text
from an image and convert it into editable text along with speech
conversion. System uses Correlation model for OCR (Optical
Character Recognition) and Speech Synthesis for TTS (Text To
Speech) conversion. Correlation is a measurement of the
similarities between two similar objects such as the predefined
alphabets and recognizing a combination of those alphabets from
an image. Speech synthesis is an artificial expression of human
speech. The computer program that has been used this feature is
called a speech computer as well as speech synthesizer that can be
implemented on the basis of software or hardware primitives. The
text-to-speech system (TTS) converts a standard language text
into a speech; some programs provide figurative language
presentations such as typed text in speech. System is capable
enough to acquire high level of accuracy with less false
recognition. It is required to built an effective text scanner that
can recognize text from an image with less error rate. System has
been implemented in MATLAB and various pre-processing filters
have been applied for better enhancement and extraction. Hand
written text can also be recognized with an effective manner.
