A character recognition apparatus includes an evaluation-value output unit, a generation unit, a learning unit, and a determination unit. The evaluation-value output unit outputs evaluation values for each of different character recognition programs. Each evaluation value indicates a degree to which an inputted character pattern corresponds to each of character codes to be recognized using the character recognition program. The generation unit generates feature information for the character pattern. The feature information includes, as elements, the evaluation values. The learning unit learns classifications for feature information on a character-code-by-character-code basis based on feature information generated for a character pattern for which a character code is specified in advance. The determination unit determines a character code of an unknown character pattern whose character code is unknown, based on which classification among the learned classifications includes feature information generated for the unknown character pattern. |
