The camera caught pictures containing content are having slanted text lines due to contortions by page and the view edge of camera.Hence it is vital while extracting text from the document, the text ought to be horizontal and words are inline appropriately.This proposed method introduces the strategy based on image processing techniques.Text extraction needs to play out some preprocessing tasks for better results.At the beginning, we find gray scale picture of given document image and then after executing the thresholding operation on text document image, we have to perform skew correction.This method, centers around the slope correction of text and we introduce a skew standardization approach which is depends on text skew correction algorithm with respect to x-axis.This method determines the exact text skew angle, and rotate image to correct skew efficiently.The method has been tested on different text document images and accomplishes over 97% accuracy.
