Summary:Examples of present disclosure relate to method and system to extract text from engineering drawing for performing accurate OCR. Initially, for the extraction, image of engineering drawing is received with a plurality of components. Each of the plurality of components in the image is classified to be one of a textual component and a non-textual component. At least one word element for textual components from the plurality of components is identified based on segmentation of the plurality of components. The segmentation is performed by drawing a plurality of horizontal edge projections of a predefined length for each of the textual components. Further, the textual components is identified to be associated with the at least one word element when horizontal edge projection of each of the textual components overlaps with adjacent textual component. The at least one word element is provided as extracted text for performing OCR on the engineering drawing.
