I want to make a program that takes an image as input and outputs text. Now I know that I can use a neural network to turn an image of single character into that character. The difficult part is: given an image with text in it, how would I produce all the rectangles around each individual character? What method could I use to do it?

To me the question per se does not seem clear.
As it talks about OCR will leave a couple of articles here that they may help (they help me at least):
Also as mentioned above tesseract is a good OCR open-source python library (the one that i personally use as well). Other approaches that you may take is through sklearn
You may also want to check this stackoverflow post.
I am also pretty sure that you can use researchgate to check for any papers out there (I found some, just not sure if this is what you need)
I think that the above generic answer suits the generic question.
