The method of claim 8, wherein the selecting is based at least in part upon attributes of the rendered document. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the selecting is based at least in part upon the identity of the rendered document. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the selecting is based at least in part upon a group of documents of which the rendered document is a member. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein the selecting is based at least in part upon the type of the rendered document. 13. The method of claim 9, wherein the selecting is based at least in part upon the source of the rendered document. 14. The method of claim 8, wherein the selecting is based at least in part upon attributes of the user. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the selecting is based at least in part upon the identity of the user. 16. The method of claim 14, wherein the selecting is based at least in part upon the location of the user. 17. The method of claim 14, wherein the selecting is based at least in part upon a group of people of which the user is a member. 18. The method of claim 1, wherein the action was associated with the identified word after the rendered document was authored. 19. The method of claim 1, wherein the action was associated with the identified word after the rendered document was rendered. 20. The method of claim 1, wherein the action is associated with the identified word for only the rendered document. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein the action is associated with the identified word for the rendered document by an action map generated for the rendered document. 22. The method of claim 20, wherein the action is associated with the identified word for a proper subset of the rendered document by an action map generated for the rendered document. 23. The method of claim 1, wherein the action is associated with the identified word for a group of documents of which the rendered document is a member. 24. The method of claim 1, wherein the action is associated with the identified word for all documents. 25. A system for responding to the capturing of text from a rendered document, comprising: a handheld optical and/or acoustical capture device usable by a user to capture a sequence of one or more words from a rendered document; and a processor that identifies among the words of the sequence captured with the handheld optical and/or acoustical capture device a word with which an action has been associated, and that performs the associated action. 26. The system of claim 25 wherein the handheld optical and/or acoustical capture device includes a locator component that determines the location of the handheld optical and/or acoustical capture device, and wherein the system further comprises at least one memory whose contents specify associations between combinations each of a word and a location and an action. 27. A computer-readable medium containing a data structure mapping keywords to actions, the data structure comprising: for each of a plurality of keywords that may be captured from rendered documents using a handheld optical and/or acoustical capture device, an entry containing information specifying an action to be performed with respect to a user who captures the keyword from a rendered document using a handheld optical and/or acoustical capture device. 28. The computer-readable medium of claim 27, wherein at least one entry of the data structure applies to all documents. 29. The computer-readable medium of claim 27, wherein at least one entry of the data structure applies to a group of documents. 30. The computer-readable medium of claim 27, wherein at least one entry of the data structure applies to a single document. 31. The computer-readable medium of claim 27, wherein a first entry of the data structure for a selected keyword applies to a group of documents, and a second entry of the data structure for the selected keyword applies to a single document, and wherein the second entry is used to determine an action to be performed with respect to a user who captures the selected keyword from the single document. 32. The computer-readable medium of claim 27, wherein at least a portion of the entries were added to the data structure in response to the payment of a sponsorship fee. 33. The computer-readable medium of claim 27, wherein at least a portion of the entries contain information specifying an action of presenting an advertising message. 34. The method of claim 1, wherein performing the associated action includes automatically performing an action without receiving feedback from the user. 35. The method of claim 1, further comprising: presenting a menu to the user, wherein the menu includes two or more user selectable actions associated with the word; receiving input from the user to select one of the user selectable actions; and performing the selected action. 36. The method of claim 35, wherein the menu is presented to the user via a mobile phone associated with the user. 37. The method of claim 35, wherein the menu is presented to the user via a mobile phone that optically or acoustically captured the received sequence. 38. The method of claim 35, wherein the menu is presented to the user via a handheld capture device that optically or acoustically captured the received sequence. 39. The method of claim 35, wherein performing the associated action includes purchasing a product. 40. The method of claim 35, wherein performing the associated action includes adding a calendar item to an electronic calendar associated with the user. 41.

The method of claim 41, further comprising: receiving a selection of the presented advertisement from the user; and billing the owner upon receiving the selection. 43. The system of claim 25, wherein the handheld optical and/or acoustical capture device is associated with a mobile phone. 44. The system of claim 25, further comprising: an indication component that alerts the user when the word with which an action has been associated has been identified. 45. A method in a computing system, comprising: receiving, by a processor of the computing system, a sequence of human readable characters optically captured from a rendered document by a user; identifying, by a processor of the computing system, among the sequence a subset of the sequence with which an action has been associated; and performing the associated action by a processor of the computing system. 46. The method of claim 45, further comprising: presenting a menu of user selectable choices related to actions to be performed; wherein each of the user selectable choices is based on one of multiple distinguised subsets within the sequence. 47. The method of claim 46, wherein presenting the menu includes presenting the user selectable choices in an order dependent on a span of characters of the distinguised subset. 48. A method in a computing system of selecting an action to be performed in response to an optical capture of a sequence of characters from a rendered document, the method comprising: identifying, by a processor of the computing system, two or more actions to be performed that are associated with a markup element that includes at least one distinguised character within the sequence of characters; determining, by a processor of the computing system for each identified action, a number of characters shared by the markup element and the sequence of characters; and selecting, by a processor of the computing system, an action to be performed based on a comparison of the determined number of characters for each identified action. 49. A method in a computing system, comprising: receiving, by a processor of the computing system, a sequence of one or more words optically or acoustically captured from a rendered document by a user; identifying, by a processor of the computing system, an action to be performed associated with a location in the rendered document proximate to the received sequence; and performing the identified action by a processor of the computing system. 50.
