Abstract:
This disclosure relates generally to optical character recognition (OCR), and more particularly to system and method for positioning characters in output text after performing OCR. In one embodiment, a method is provided for performing OCR. The method includes receiving a textual image, and extracting one or more character images along with one or more corresponding position indices from the textual image. A position index of a character image may include a line number, a word number, and a character number of the character image within the textual image. The method further includes determining one or more characters corresponding to the one or more character images using an OCR algorithm, and generating a text by positioning the one or more characters based on the one or more position indices of the one or more corresponding character images.

Claim (Index 16):
The device of  claim 12 , wherein positioning the one or more characters comprises:\n sorting the one or more characters in ascending order based on the one or more line numbers, followed by the one or more word numbers, and followed by the one or more character numbers; comparing a line number of a character with a line number of preceding character; upon determining the line number of the character to be greater than the line number of preceding character, placing the character in next line; upon determining the line number of the character to be same as the line number of preceding character, comparing a word number of a character with a word number of preceding character; upon determining the word number of the character to be greater than the word number of preceding character, placing the character after a space; and upon determining the word number of the character to be same as the word number of preceding character, placing the character next to the preceding character.
