PURPOSE:To select automatically a recognizing means suitable to the classification for each classification of the character and to execute the high recognizing accuracy by detecting the width of the character column detected by a character column detecting means and selecting either of plural kinds of recognizing means based upon this. CONSTITUTION:A document 1 to be read is inputted as a picture at a document input means 4, stored in a document picture storing means 5 and a character column is detected by a character column detecting means 6. A character column width detecting means 7 detects the width of the handwritten character column and the width of a printing type column. A character segmenting means 8 segments the character for one character from the character column. Based upon the width of the character column detected by the character column width detecting means 7, a recognizing means selecting means 9 selects a handwritten character recognizing means 10 or a printing type recognizing means 11. Generally, since the printing type is small printed, the character width, when the type is made into a character column, is smaller than the character width of the handwritten character, the recognizing means suitable for the classification for each classification of the character is automatically selected, and therefore, the complicated work is not needed and the character reading device, in which high recognizing accuracy can be obtained, can be realized.
