1. A method in a computing system for processing a distinguished text capture operation, comprising:
- receiving human-readable text captured by a user via a portable capture device from a distinguished rendered document in the distinguished text capture operation;
receiving supplemental information distinct from the captured text, said supplemental information comprising an identity associated with said user; and
automatically determining, by the computing system in response to the distinguished text capture operation and based upon both the captured text and the supplemental information, which one of a predetermined plurality of actions is likely optimal for said user.

Abstract
A system for processing a text capture operation is described. The system receives text captured from a rendered document in the text capture operation. The system also receives supplemental information distinct from the captured text. The system determines an action to perform in response to the text capture operation based upon both the captured text and the supplemental information.

44. A system for processing a distinguished text capture operation, comprising:
-
a capture component that receives human-readable text captured by a user via a portable capture device from a distinguished rendered document in the distinguished text capture operation; an information component that receives supplemental information distinct from the captured text, said supplemental information comprising an identity associated with said user; and an action component that automatically determines, in response to the distinguished text capture operation and based upon both the captured text and the supplemental information, which one of a predetermined plurality of actions is likely optimal for said user.
