  Text detection plays a critical role in the whole procedure of textual
information extraction and understanding. On a high note, recent years have
seen a surge in the high recall text detectors in scene text images, however
text boxes for individual words is still a challenging when dense text is
present in the scene. In this work, we propose an elegant solution that
promotes prediction of words or text lines of arbitrary orientations and
directions, providing emphasis on individual words. We also investigate the
effects of Receptive Field Blocks(RFB) and its impact in receptive fields for
text segments. Experiments were done on the ICDAR2015 and achieves an F-score
