Text to Image Converter (for Linux)

For several purposes of our OCR research we needed a converter that can generate an image from any given Bangla/ Bengali text. One of the reasons was to prepare artificial training and testing data. For this reason we finally created a very simple text to image converter. Actually the converter is a collection of two python script files.

You may want to try "gozer" for your text-to-image conversion.

The original site seems down but you can install from normal Debian repositories

It works pretty well.

Thanks for sharing anyway.
