Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an image reader, a controller, and an output section. The image reader reads a document at a highest resolution. The controller generates, from first image data obtained by reading of the document performed at the highest resolution, second image data having a resolution that is lower than the highest resolution, and sets a resolution of output image data based on a result of comparison between a first recognition result, which is a recognition result of character recognition processing performed on the first image data, and a second recognition result, which is a recognition result of character recognition processing performed on the second image data.

Claim (Index 5):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 4 ,\n wherein, when the value obtained by subtracting the second comparison value from the first comparison value is a positive value smaller than the threshold value, if the resolution of the second image data is not the lowest resolution,\n the controller generates third image data having a resolution one level lower than the resolution of the second image data to perform the character recognition processing on the third image data, and, \n in a case where the average value of the confidence factors of the characters in the first recognition result is set as the first comparison value, the controller sets, as a third comparison value, an average value of confidence factors of characters in a third recognition result, which is a recognition result of the character recognition processing performed on the third image data, while in a case where the confidence factor of the target character, among the confidence factors of the characters in the first recognition result, is set as the first comparison value, the controller sets, as the third comparison value, a confidence factor of a character that is a same character and of a same font as the target character, among the confidence factors of the characters in the third recognition result, and \n when a value obtained by subtracting the third comparison value from the first comparison value is a positive value smaller than the threshold value, the controller sets the resolution of the output image data at a resolution equal to a resolution of the third image data, while, when the value obtained by subtracting the third comparison value from the first comparison value is not a positive value smaller than the threshold value, the controller sets the resolution of the output image data at a resolution equal to the resolution of the second image data.
