This software tool has been developed by Dr. Hussein Mohammed as a part of sub-project A05: Similarity Measurement of Visual Patterns in Written Artefacts.

The main goal of this software tool is to detect, count and mark the text lines in images of handwritten manuscripts. This version contains features to detect vertical text-lines and bright text-lines on darker background.

In order to use TLCv1.0, please follow these steps:

- Download the "TLCv1.0.zip" file, then extract it to a folder in your local computer.

- You can run the TLCv1.0 application by double-clicking the executable file "TLCv1.0.exe" in your extracted folder.

- A command window will start, then the TLCv1.0 will open your default internet browser. Although it uses your internet browser, it is an offline application running on your local computer, you do not need internet connection.

- When you finish using TLCv1.0, you can simply close the command window.
