Abstract

Methods and apparatus for capturing, analyzing, and converting documents are provided. Provided in some embodiments is a method that includes obtaining a script document comprising script elements, assessing a layout of the script document, wherein the layout comprises a physical location of the script elements within the script document, determining an identification of one or more of the script elements based at least in part on the physical location of the one or more script elements within the script document, and assessing the one of the script elements using a finite state machine, wherein the finite state machine assesses one or more of the script elements preceding or following the one of the script elements to determine an accuracy of the identification of the one or more of the script elements determined.
