1. A method for assigning text to a record from an image of the record, comprising: obtaining a scanned image of a record; determining at an optical character recognition system that at least some words in the scanned image are unidentified; evaluating the record image in order to locate each of multiple word images corresponding to the unidentified words; for each located word image, identifying multiple word features of that word image; assigning each of the multiple word images that have similar word features to one of a plurality of word clusters; selecting a representative word image in each of the word clusters as a centroid; reviewing, by an analyst, the centroid in each of the word clusters, and entering data representing text for the centroid; and assigning the representing text for the centroid to all other word images in the same word cluster as the centroid.
