An apparatus and a method for character string recognition for correctly recognizing a character string placed on a medium, even in a recognition process system in which a plurality of formats are handled. An image processing area is set on a medium. The image processing area is divided in a placement direction of character strings so as to make up a plurality of segments. An image data projection in a direction of character strings is calculated for each segment. The number of character string lines for each segment is calculated according to the image data projection. The number of character string lines is determined for the image processing area as a whole, according to the number of character string lines for each segment, and it is judged whether or not the character strings are predetermined character strings.
