Expose difference between HANDWRITING and PRINTED and so on

[simonw]

I just noticed that once you get down to the WORD blocks in the Textract output you see stuff this:

{
    "BlockType": "WORD",
    "ColumnIndex": null,
    "ColumnSpan": null,
    "Confidence": 99.53694915771484,

    "TextType": "HANDWRITING"
},

The "TextType": "PRINTED" and "TextType": "HANDWRITING" things are cool! This tool currently ignores words and only uses lines, so this information is lost.

This might come out of work to provide options to create a schema that collects data at a higher level of detail generally.
