Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for presenting additional information for text depicted by an image. In one aspect, a method includes receiving an image. Text depicted in the image is identified. The identified text can be in one or more text blocks. A prominence presentation context is selected for the image based on the relative prominence of the one or more text blocks. Each prominence presentation context corresponds to a relative prominence of each text block in which text is presented within images. Each prominence presentation context has a corresponding user interface for presenting additional information related to the identified text depicted in the image. A user interface is identified that corresponds to the selected prominence presentation context. Additional information is presented for at least a portion of the text depicted in the image using the identified user interface.
