A character recognizing apparatus capable of recognizing discriminatively characters written continuously, irregularly and/or containing modification is provided which apparatus includes an input unit for allowing a handwritten character to be inputted to thereby output coordinate-points string, a dictionary for storing therein a plurality of character codes and character patterns corresponding to the character codes, respectively, an element decomposition module for decomposing the coordinates string outputted from the input unit into a plurality of elements which constitute the character, and a matching module for determining corresponding distance values for the elements of the character pattern stored in the dictionary and the elements of character pattern of the inputted character for each of the character patterns stored in the dictionary, to thereby correct the distance values determined on the basis of the elements bearing no correspondence.
