Abstract

Described herein are various technologies pertaining to text extraction from a document. A computing device receives the document. The document comprises computer-readable text and a layout, wherein the layout defines positions of the computer-readable text within a two-dimensional area represented by the document. Responsive to receiving the document, the computing device identifies at least one textual element in the computer-readable text based upon spatial factors between portions of the computer-readable text and contextual relationships between the portions of the computer-readable text. The computing device then outputs the at least one textual element.
