Method and system for converting image text documents in bit-mapped formats to searchable text and for searching the searchable text

Abstract

A system and method for searching optical character recognition results of image text documents includes an image text transformer that linguistically analyzes the optical character recognition results within a context of multiple lexicons to form edited text results and creates a reflection repository having reflection files therein corresponding to the image documents from the optical character recognition results. A search engine searches the reflection files and a user device displays a first reflection file from the reflection files or a first image document from the image documents in response to searching. The files are displayed on a display associated with a user device.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
