You need (1) feature extraction, finding the writing, (2) OCR of some
sort, to turn pictures of letters into letters, and then (3) the
linguistic analysis.

However, many images contain metadata in plain text (OK, XML or
whatever) that may include language and location information.

I'm interested in the text cleansing, can you tell me more (off list
maybe?)

Thank you!
