Patent ID: 10984285

Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes a recognition unit, a memory, a registration unit, and an extraction unit. The recognition unit performs recognition of one or more characters included in an image and outputs character information indicating the one or more characters. The memory stores a first specific character and a second specific character in association with each other. The first specific character has an index taking on a value lower than a predetermined value. The index indicates accuracy of the recognition performed by the recognition unit. The second specific character is output after the recognition unit performs the recognition of the first specific character. The registration unit registers at least one character or at least one character string as an extraction target. The registration unit registers a first character or a first character string as an extraction target and a second character or a second character string as an extraction target if an operator performs an operation for registering the first character or the first character string as the extraction target and if the first character or the first character string includes the first specific character. The second character or the second character string is composed by replacing the first specific character in the first character or the first character string with the second specific character. The extraction unit extracts at least one character or at least one character string from the character information. The extraction unit extracts the first character or the first character string and the second character or the second character string that are registered as the respective extraction targets.
