Abstract

An image of a printed document portion is provided to a synchronizer. The synchronizer retrieves an electronic version of the printed document and identifies an electronic text portion that is textually similar to a printed text portion. The synchronizer detects an annotation in the printed document portion and inserts a corresponding digital annotation into the electronic document.
