That sort of script is very difficult for computerised analysis, even with the latest OCR software.

If you look carefully the GIF, you will see that it is not hand-written at all.
It is a text written in a text processor, the text is justified, the font remotely look like hand-writing, the difference you see between occurrences of same letter is because of low quality of pictures.

As Richard said, OCR is the only way.

The problem is the low quality of pictures, and the solution is better quality. Training the OCR software will improve the result, but you will have to check everything.

The other way:
At beginning, those pictures are taken from a text processor document, see if you can put your hands on that file.

I believe you are looking for OCR (optical character recognition) software.

Maybe try something like :
Free Online OCR - Convert JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, PDF, DjVu to Text[^]
or
My Free OCR | Convert .jpg .png .gif & Download Free as Text[^]

Is there any machine learning algorithms are available to convert this hand-written code conversion?
