Electronic device, method and non-transitory storage medium for optical character recognition

A method for optical character recognition (OCR) by an electronic device, the method comprising:

• storing, in a memory of the electronic device, at least one content and at least one word position table individually corresponding to the at least one content;
• obtaining an image for at least one character scanned on a printed document by an electronic pen;
• identifying a content corresponding to the image from the at least one content;
• identifying a word position table corresponding to the identified content from the at least one word position table;
• and
• obtaining resultant information recognized by the optical character recognition on the image based on the identified word position table and original data of the identified content.

A non-transitory storage medium storing instructions executed by a processor to enable the processor to:

• store, in a memory, at least one content and at least one word position table individually corresponding to the at least one content;
• obtain an image for at least one character scanned on a printed document by an electronic pen;
• identify a content corresponding to the image from the at least one content;
• identify a word position table corresponding to the identified content from the at least one word position table;
• and
• obtain resultant information recognized by optical character recognition on the image based on the identified word position table and original data of the identified content.
