Abstract
A system and method for filtering documents to determine section boundaries between dictated and non-dictated text. The system and method identifies portions of a text report that correspond to an original dictation and, correspondingly, those portions that are not part of the original dictation. The system and method include comparing tokenized and normalized forms of the original dictation and the final report, determining mismatches between the two forms, and applying machine-learning techniques to identify document headers, footers, page turns, macros, and lists automatically and accurately.
