  • Publication number: 20170315963
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an acquisition section, a marker detecting section, a text extracting section, and a markup language processing section. The marker detecting section detects, based on the image data acquired by the acquisition section, a marker assigned to an original document. The text extracting section analyzes the image data to recognize and extract a text in the original document. The markup language processing section generates markup data in which the text in the image data has the same display color as the marker.

  • Patent number: 8305393
    Abstract: In an area selected as a highlighted display target, an area to be displayed in a highlighted manner or an area to be displayed in a character-invisible manner can be designated based on a color for highlighting. A display control unit for collectively controlling, for each area for which the same color has been designated, whether to display each selected area in at least text of a headword in a manner highlighted with a color designated for each area or to display the area in a character-invisible manner using the designated color and a first accepting unit for accepting designation of a color through a second input portion are provided. When there is an area displayed in a manner highlighted with the designated color at the time of acceptance of designation of the color, the display control unit causes the area displayed in the highlighted manner to be in turn displayed in a character-invisible manner using the designated color.
