  • Publication number: 20230359329
    Abstract: The subject matter of this specification generally relates to providing content related to text depicted in images. In one aspect, a system includes a data processing apparatus configured to extract text from an image. The extracted text is partitioned into multiple blocks. The multiple blocks are presented as respective first user-selectable targets on a user interface at a first zoom level. A user selection of a first block of the multiple blocks is detected. In response to detecting the user selection of the first block, portions of the extracted text in the first block are presented as respective second user-selectable targets on the user interface at a second zoom level greater than the first zoom level. In response to detecting a user selection of a portion of the extracted text within the first block, an action is initiated based on content of the user-selected text.
