How to remove rectangle shapes from image, keeping text, in Python3?

I am trying to extract the text from flowcharts and decision trees. If I use the image with original boxes/shapes, the text region detection is poor. Is there any way to remove these shapes (keeping the text)?

enter image description here

You could use connectedComponentsWithStats(), you will have single component for the chart lines, then just remove that component from the image.
