Abstract
A system generates a text document from a received document image. Searchable metadata elements may be assigned to all or part of the text document by a user or by a template used to generate the text document. The text document and the associated metadata elements may be stored to facilitate subsequent searching and retrieval of the text document based on contents of the text document and/or its associated metadata elements.
