Abstract
Techniques for optical character recognition improvement based on inline location determination is provided. The techniques include receiving a digital data stream containing a digital image. As the digital data stream arrives, a determination is made whether a number of received bytes associated with a header portion of the digital image has reached a target number. In response to determining that the number of received bytes associated with the header portion of the digital image has reached the target number, the bytes associated with the header portion of the digital image are cloned. While the digital data stream is received, location data from the cloned bytes associated with the header portion are determined. After the digital image has been received, text in the digital image is caused to be recognized by an optical character recognition system based, at least in part, on the location data.
