1. A method performed by data processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a device of a user, (i) a phrase captured from a print version of a document, and (ii) an indication that the phrase was captured from the print version of the document;
identifying the document using the phrase;
determining that a request to access supplemental electronic materials associated with the document is implicit in the phrase;
identifying the supplemental electronic materials associated with the document in response to determining that the request to access supplemental electronic materials is implicit in the phrase;
requesting that the user scan content that is located at a particular location within the print version of the document to receive access to the identified supplemental electronic materials;
receiving data specifying scanned content,determining that the scanned content matches the content that is located at the particular location within the print version of the document;
determining that the request satisfies a set of one or more access rules for the identified supplemental electronic materials based on (i) the indication that the phrase was captured from the print version of the document and (ii) the scanned content matching the content that is located at the particular location within the print version of the document; and
providing the identified supplemental electronic materials for output in response to determining that the request satisfies the set of access rules.

Abstract
A system for identifying an electronic counterpart for a rendered document is described. The system receives an indication of a text capture operation performed from a rendered document. The indication identifies a text sequence captured as part of the text capture operation, the identified text sequence comprising fewer than nine words. In response to receiving the indication, the system uniquely identifies an electronic document from which the rendered document was rendered.

8. A system, comprising:
-
a data processing apparatus; and a memory storage apparatus in data communication with the data processing apparatus, the memory storage apparatus storing instructions executable by the data processing apparatus and that upon such execution cause the data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising; receiving (i) a phrase captured from a print version of a document, and (ii) an indication that the phrase was captured from the print version of the document; identifying the document using the phrase; determining that a request to access supplemental electronic materials associated with the document is implicit in the phrase; identifying the supplemental electronic materials associated with the document in response to determining that the request to access supplemental electronic materials is implicit in the phrase; requesting that the user scan content that is located at a particular location within the print version of the document to receive access to the identified supplemental electronic materials; receiving data specifying scanned content; determining that the scanned content matches the content that is located at the particular location within the print version of the document; determining that the request satisfies a set of one or more access rules for the identified supplemental electronic materials based on the indication that the phrase was captured from the print version of the document and (ii) the scanned content matching the content that is located at the particular location within the print version of the document; and providing the identified supplemental electronic materials for output in response to determining that the request satisfies the set of access rules. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer storage medium encoded with a computer program, the program comprising instructions that when executed by a data processing apparatus cause the data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving (i) a phrase captured from a print version of a document, and (ii) an indication that the phrase was captured from the print version of the document; identifying the document using the phrase; determining that a request to access supplemental electronic materials associated with the document is implicit in the phrase; identifying the supplemental electronic materials associated with the document in response to determining that the request to access supplemental electronic materials is implicit in the phrase; requesting that the user scan content that is located at a particular location within the print version of the document to receive access to the identified supplemental electronic materials; receiving data specifying scanned content; determining that the scanned content matches the content that is located at the particular location within the print version of the document; determining that the request satisfies a set of one or more access rules for the identified supplemental electronic materials based on (i) the indication that the phrase was captured from the print version of the document and (ii) the scanned content matching the content that is located at the particular location within the print version of the document; and providing the identified supplemental electronic materials for output in response to determining that the request satisfies the set of access rules. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
