  • Patent number: 11914943
    Abstract: Techniques for generating text content arranged in a consistent read order from a source document including text corresponding to different read orders are disclosed. A system parses a binary file representing an electronic document to identify characters and metadata associated with the characters. The system pre-sorts a character order of characters in each line of the electronic document to generate an ordered list of characters arranged according to the right-to-left reading order. The system performs a layout-mirroring operation to change a position of characters within the modified document relative to a right edge of the document and a left edge of the document. Subsequent to performing layout-mirroring, the system identifies native left-to-right reading-order text in-line with the native right-to-left reading-order text.
