<p>In the Current time, the best way to detect the text is by using EAST (An Efficient and Accurate Scene Text Detector)</p>
<p>The EAST pipeline is capable of predicting words and lines of text at arbitrary orientations on 720p images, and furthermore, can run at 13 FPS, according to the authors.</p>
<p>EAST quick start tutorial can be found <a href="https://www.pyimagesearch.com/2018/08/20/opencv-text-detection-east-text-detector/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a></p>
