PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform a precise character recognition even when a marks is overlaid on a character string. SOLUTION: The character recognition device 100 of an embodiment 1 firstly extracts highly reliable characters which are precisely recognized as highly reliable characters, by performing a simplified character recognition. Then, the character recognition device 100 sets up an outside character string region indicating a predefined width which circumscribes a circumscribing rectangle of the highly reliable characters and removes other edges contained in the outside character string region. Then, the character recognition device 100 performs a character recognition for each character contained in a circumscribing rectangle of image data in which circumscribing rectangles contained in the outside character string region are removed.
