SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING A SEARCHABLE WORD INDEX OF A SCANNED DOCUMENT INCLUDING MULTIPLE INTERPRETATIONS OF A WORD AT A GIVEN DOCUMENT LOCATION

摘要

Multiple recognition engines (110) provide different interpretations (116) of a word at a given location within a scanned document (108). A word node corresponding to each unique interpretation is stored within a word index (102), with each word node being linked to word nodes of previously and subsequently recognized words.
