ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a system and method for identifying text in a word set. The method may include retrieving a target term set including a plurality of target terms; retrieving the word set including a plurality of text words; normalizing target terms in the target term set to generate normalized terms; normalizing text words in the word set to generate normalized words; comparing the normalized terms with the normalized words to determine (1) a first match between a first normalized term and a first normalized word; and (2) a second match between a second normalized term and a second normalized word. The method may further include determining a distance between a text word position of the first normalized word and a text word position of the second normalized word to determine if any relative positions satisfy threshold criteria, and identifying a first text word position and a second text word position as constituting possible identified text once a relative position of the text word position of the first normalized word and a text word position of the second normalized word satisfies the threshold criteria.
