Claim:
A computer-implemented method, comprising: receiving, by a computer, a file that includes a representation of a scanned image of a document; determining by the computer one or more portions of the scanned image of the document that are one or more regions of probable text by performing, by the computer, optical character recognition (OCR) on the image file to generate a text file that includes recognized (OCR) text associated with words included in the scanned image of the document; determining by the computer one or more properties of the words in the scanned image, with the one or more properties including at least a font style and font size; formatting by the computer the recognized text to match the determined font style and font size of the words in the scanned image; and displaying the document on a display of a computing device, with one or more portions of the document having words in the scanned image being overlaid with optical character recognized text having the formatted font style and font size, and an transparency between about 25% and 75%, where both the words in the scanned image in the one or more portions of the document and the optical character recognized are viewed simultaneously with differences between words in the scanned image text in the one or more regions of probable text and the overlaid optical character recognized text identified, and with remaining one or more portions of the document displayed from the file that includes the representation of the scanned image of the document.
