ABSTRACT:
Embodiments herein acquire an image containing text, identify distinct regions of text within the image (using, for example, a document model), and separate sub-images of the image according to the distinct regions of text. The embodiments can then order the sub-images according to a predetermined order (which may be different than the order that the sub-images appeared in the original image) and display the regions of text in this predetermined order. The method and system presented herein make the graphic user interface more user-friendly by potentially changing the manner (order) in which the regions of text are displayed.
