Abstract: A method and system for extraction of text from a video for performing selective searching of text in the video is disclosed. The disclosure provides a text extraction device which receives a plurality of frames of a video. The frames may include at least one set of interrelated frames comprising a common text. A reference frame is identified comprising a reference pattern of a text in the frames. The reference pattern is matched with a pattern associated with a text within each of the frames. In order to do so, one or more interrelated frames are identified from the frames based on a pattern match. A set of interrelated frames is obtained comprising a text having a pattern matching the reference pattern. A relevant frame from the set of interrelated frames is selected based on text quality criteria and the common text is extracted from the relevant frame.
