Abstract
Embodiments of the invention describe methods and apparatus for performing context-sensitive OCR. A device obtains an image using a camera coupled to the device. The device identifies a portion of the image comprising a graphical object. The device infers a context associated with the image and selects a group of graphical objects based on the context associated with the image. Improved OCR results are generated using the group of graphical objects. Input from various sensors including microphone, GPS, and camera, along with user inputs including voice, touch, and user usage patterns may be used in inferring the user context and selecting dictionaries that are most relevant to the inferred contexts.
