PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide character recognition method and device capable of improving a recognition ratio, when a document or the like on which a ruled line or a frame line is printed out by monochromatic printing using a non-dropout color is read out by an image reader. SOLUTION: A character is segmented from an image from which a ruled line or the like is removed (S1, S2), ruled line contact information is stored in a memory, a segmented character image recognition processing (S4, S5) is executed, and when the segmented character image cannot be recognized, the segmented character image is interpolated, so as to connect partial sections lost by the ruled line removal on the basis of the ruled line contact information (S7), and recognition processing (S8, S9) is executed again and whether a recognition result is to be outputted is judged (S10).
