PURPOSE:To reduce the rate of rejection, and erroneous recognition, and to improve working efficiency, by providing a dictionary memory in which the character pattern of a consecutive character is registered in advance, collating the consecutive character as it is, and recognizing it. CONSTITUTION:A reading object on a slip is read out at a reading part 1, and a picture signal binary-coded at a binarization part 2 is outputted. The picture signal is segmented by every character row at a row segmenting part 3, and at an image extracting part 4, a projection intersecting orthogonally with the row of the picture signal included in one character row, is extracted, and the projection is stored temporarily at a projection storing part 5. Also, at an isolated pattern segmenting part 6, the picture signal of a black part in the projection is segmented, and at a pattern width deciding part 7, a prescribed character width is compared with the width of an isolated pattern, and a decision whether the character is one character, or the consecutive character, is performed. And a single character pattern and a consecutive character pattern registered in advance at a single character dictionary memory 9, and a consecutive character dictionary memory 10, are processed at a dictionary switching part 13, and when it is the consecutive character, it is collated and recognized as it is at a deciding part 12, thereby, the rejection and the erroneous recognition can be reduced.
