Yes, look up the definition of TesseractExtractResults: it returns the set of boxes for all characters it recognized, with blank characters (ascii 32) between words or lines (you have to map to a space or to a newline based on the X & Y coordinates of the box before and after the delimiter). A "word" would be the set of individual boxes between two delimiters and if you wish to draw a box around the entire word, you can just make one up from the min/max X & Y values from the set of individual character boxes. Disclaimer: there may be an API I don't know that returns the word boxes ready-made.
A word of caution: the Tesseract space detection is so-so and is wrong IMHO about 5-10% of the time.
