I'm looking for a mechanism to resize images that contain text overlays.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would love if the mechanism for preserving faces could apply to OCR detected text.
Additional context
This is a great suggestions. I was thinking about the implementation and I think it would be possible.
I have analyzed the existing possibilities and the most obvious approach would be to use a well established library like tesseract which has a Go binding also: https://github.com/otiai10/gosseract. This is working kind of nice on texts over an uniform background (I need to test it more with different pictures like the sample image you have provided - the text is not recognized 100% accurately here). My only concern is about the tesseract required dependencies. In need to weight it if it's truly worth it of extending the library towards OCR detection.
