Abstract :
This paper presents a document processing methodology based on an OCR approach. The document methodology separates text from images by keeping their relationships for a possible reconstruction of the original page. The text separation and extraction is based on a hierarchical framing process. The process starts with the framing a single character, after its recognition, continues with the framing of a word, and ends with the framing of all text lines
