Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus, including software tangibly stored on a computer readable medium, involve identifying text in an electronic document. An electronic document that includes an image object is received. In a first region of the image object, a first set of text characters having a first orientation are recognized. In a second region of the image object, a second set of text characters having a second orientation are recognized. The electronic document is modified to include a first text object identifying the first set of text characters and a second text object identifying the second set of text characters. Each identification of text characters includes a set of values that each represent an individual text character recognized in the corresponding region.
