I have recently been playing around with a web app that allows the user to draw paths on an SVG using touch or a stylus (the idea is to make a simple note taking web app).
Now I would like to add the ability to convert SVG Paths to text. So my question is: How do I convert the coordinates of the SVG Path to text?
I'm just at a loss of how you would call such a process (and hours of googling something with no idea what to call it has not yielded results). And when I search for something remotely linked to text recognition I can only find things about OCR.
I'm not looking for OCR, because that requires bitmap images. I'm looking for a way to convert SVG Paths or points/vectors to text.
Can anybody point me in the right direction of what this is called so I can read more about the topic and dont need to re-invent the wheel?
Thanks in advance.
