  • Electronic book pagination
    Patent number: 9892094
    Abstract: An electronic book can be paginated by reference to a print version of the same book. Pages of the print version are scanned to obtain text strings and page labels corresponding to each of the pages. The text strings are then compared to the electronic book to find the best matching positions within the electronic book. The matching positions within the electronic book are then associated with the page numbers of the pages from which the matching text strings were obtained. Autocorrelation can be used to determine matching positions.
