FIELD: physics, computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method, a system and a computer-readable medium for processing an electronic document. A method of processing an electronic document includes obtaining, by a processor, an electronic document which includes an image containing visually presented text in which there are no text data corresponding to the visually presented text of said image; automatic recognition of the image containing visually presented text in a background mode such that the appearance of said electronic document for the user remains unchanged; creating a text layer which includes the recognised data; adding a text layer under the image containing visually presented text, such that said layer is hidden from the user when displaying the electronic document, where the hidden text layer is configured such that it enables the user to perform operations on the text which corresponds to the recognised data, and storing results of user operations on a storage device in the form of part of the electronic document.

EFFECT: enabling a user to work with recognised text in a document, which is only an image, without preliminary explicit application of a text recognition process to the document.
