I'm working on a project that involves extracting handwritten text from a document with printed text as well. In the image below I'd like to isolate the bold black markings and identify their position relative to the rest of the image.

My project is in Python and I'm using OpenCV, but I'm open to introducing different OCR technologies into the project. Are there any tutorials or libraries/frameworks that I can achieve this with?

Do you have a copy of the original document pre being written on? – Johnny John Boy Apr 15 '21 at 15:43
Yes. I have an image of the rubric without any text on it – AKang123. Apr 15 '21 at 15:55

Check this out, I think I would be inclined to try something like explained in this question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56183201/detect-and-visualize-differences-between-two-images-with-opencv-python unfortunately I can't help on the exact question – Johnny John Boy Apr 15 '21 at 15:59
