1. A method in a computing system for regulating access to supplemental electronic materials associated with a distinguished rendered document, the computing system comprising a memory and a plurality of processing components, the method comprising: receiving into the memory a human-readable text sequence captured as part of a text capture operation performed by a distinguished user on a print version of the distinguished rendered document using a scanner, wherein the text capture operation captures the human-readable text sequence and the human-readable text sequence includes text that is perceptible to a human on the print version of the distinguished rendered document; processing data from the text capture operation to recognize the text; determining, from the recognized text, a text string corresponding to the captured human-readable text sequence; identifying the distinguished rendered document using the text string; identifying supplemental electronic materials associated with the distinguished rendered document, the supplemental electronic materials being materials presentable using an audio or visual medium; determining that a request to access the supplemental electronic materials associated with the distinguished rendered document is implicit in receiving the human-readable text sequence; retrieving a set of access rules for the supplemental electronic materials associated with the distinguished rendered document; and resolving the request by enabling access to the supplemental electronic materials when the request satisfies the access rules or denying access to the supplemental electronic materials when the request does not satisfy the access rules, wherein resolving the request by enabling access to the supplemental electronic materials when the request satisfies the access rules includes permitting access to the supplemental electronic materials when the received human-readable text sequence includes an indication that the human-readable text sequence was captured from the print version of the distinguished rendered document.
