1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- dividing an image into a plurality of sub-regions;
identifying two or more adjacent sub-regions of the image that contain text, wherein the identified adjacent sub-regions share overlapping image pixels;
combining the identified adjacent sub-regions into a candidate text region; and
performing optical character recognition on the candidate text region.
