Does this work for typed text #4

Can we use or modify this code for typed text segmentation.

Hi @SumanthAmpcus This network was trained to segment handwritten text, therefore I do not think it will work for typed text out of the box.

You may want to consider looking at some work in OCR for typed text segmentation (e.g., Street view text dataset)
