Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for segmenting and processing documents for optical character recognition is provided. The method includes receiving a document and detecting different types of text data. The document is divided into a plurality of text regions associated with the different types of said text data. Optical noise is removed from each text region and differing optical character recognition software code is selected for application to each text region. The differing optical character recognition software code is executed with respect to each text region resulting in extractable computer readable text located within each said text region.
