Abstract
When scanning a document, the goal in most cases is to obtain another printed copy. However,
there are many situations in which the user would like to keep a digital copy of the document (e. g., in a
cloud storage service or in the user’s own local device). To this end, the user usually needs to choose and
type a meaningful file name, which makes it easier to find that document again in the future. The task of
choosing and typing a filename is usually tedious and, depending on the number of documents that are to
be scanned, impractical. The proposed invention is a simple method to suggest a file name that relies on
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and the layout of the text boxes in the page extracted by the OCR
engine.
