Character coordinates in Textract

Question

Hello Everybody,  
  
I'm working with textract to OCR some documents, I am able to access only words and sentences coordinates and bounding boxes. Is there anyway I can get the coordinates of the each character of the word?

Hello Fang,  
  
Thanks for the reply. I was actually looking for character coordinates to save the layout data of entire document to the Character level  because if I have character level information I can do fuzzy extraction and swap the characters accordingly if there are any errors.
