PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a character recognizing device for quickly executing recognizing processing at a high recognizing rate by setting an optional character set as a recognizing object character set, and a recording medium for recording data and a program for executing the character-recognizing processing. SOLUTION: This character-recognizing device investigates a document of a character-recognizing object, designates a character set proper as a recognizing result as the recognizing object character set, and inputs a pattern intended for reading from a scanner. A characteristic of an image of the recognizing object character set is extracted, and the extracting result is dimensionally compressed. A made characteristic vector is checked with a standard pattern stored in a pattern dictionary, the standard pattern, having a distance near an input pattern in a characteristic quantity space is selected, only a character corresponding to the designated recognizing object character set among the selected standard pattern is selected, and is used as a recognizing result. Thus, an easily mistaking character set, such as a similar character is designated as the recognizing object character set, and the character can be highly accurately recognized at a high speed.
