1. A method for creating digitized text for a record from an image of the record, comprising: obtaining a digital image of a record; evaluating the record image in order to locate each of multiple word images; 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 digitized text for the centroid; and assigning the digitized text for the centroid to all other word images in the same word cluster as the centroid.

The method of claim 1 , wherein assigning each of the multiple word images to one of a plurality of clusters comprises: assigning one or more values to each of the multiple word features for each word image in order to create a feature vector for that word image; and assigning each word image to a word cluster based on its feature vector.
