1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a server device, a sequence of characters optically or acoustically captured from a rendered document by a capture device remote from the server device;
identifying, using the server device, a document that includes a sequence of characters that matches the captured sequence of characters;
identifying, using the server device, a position, within the identified document, of the sequence of characters that matches the captured sequence of characters; and
identifying, using the server device, a word, phrase or symbol that is within the sequence of characters at the identified position within the identified document and that is associated with an action.

Abstract
A system for processing text captured from rendered documents is described. The system receives a sequence of one or more words optically or acoustically captured from a rendered document by a user. The system identifies among words of the sequence a word with which an action has been associated. The system then performs the associated action with respect to the user.

13. A server device, comprising:
-
a processor; a computer-readable memory device including a document identification index and a document action map; and a network connection that receives from a network a sequence of characters optically or acoustically captured from a rendered document by a capture device and transmitted to the network connection via the network, wherein the processor identifies, from the document identification index, a document that that includes a sequence of characters that matches the captured sequence of characters, wherein the processor identifies, from the document identification index, a position, within the identified document, of the sequence of characters that matches the captured sequence of characters, and wherein the processor identifies, from the document action map, a word, phrase or symbol that is within the sequence of characters at the identified position within the identified document and that is associated with an action. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
