Abstract
Information associated with representation of textual information can be captured, stored and manipulated in a convenient and efficient automated manner that conserves resources. A handheld text image processing device can include a camera, a graphics processing component, a text processing component and a memory. The camera captures digital picture information associated with text on an object. The graphics processing component performs graphics processing on the digital picture information that facilitate text recognition (e.g., transforms, rotations, etc.). The text processing component recognizes representations of the text in the digital picture information and converts the digital picture information associated with the text into a text file format. The memory stores the information in a text file format. The text file format can represent the textual information utilizing less bits than a file format in which the text information is captured. The text information can also be communicated in a text file format.
