Abstract

In the digital era, substantial amounts of textual information are embedded in images, especially across news outlets, social platforms, and scanned documents. This presents a significant technical challenge: efficiently extracting and summarizing text from images in an automated way that preserves context and meaning. Traditional text summarization techniques are not directly applicable to image-based content because they depend on pre-structured input text. In this paper, we propose a framework that integrates Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) models to address this challenge. The proposed method implements OCR to extract raw text from images, followed by deep learning-based summarization using models such as LSTM, Bi-LSTM, BERT and T5. These models are trained on large-scale news datasets to enhance their ability to generate coherent summaries from unstructured text. To ensure accessibility and practical usability, our framework is deployed via an interactive web-based interface that allows end-users to upload images and receive concise summaries in real time. Experimental evaluation demonstrates the efficacy of the proposed approach, particularly with transformer-based models, in delivering high-quality summarization from visual text sources
