Abstract
A system and method for organizing and prioritizing recognized text. More particularly, a method and system for categorizing recognized text according to confidence levels in the correctness of the recognized text. The system and method may categorize recognized text into two or more different confidence levels. A user interface can display recognized text based upon the confidence level assigned to that text, thereby drawing a user'"'"'s attention to that text for which the recognition process has a low confidence in its correctness estimate. The user interface may also allow a user to correct erroneously recognized text with different techniques, according to the level of confidence that the recognition process has in the correctness of the text.
