PURPOSE:To easily produce not only a dictionary for printing types but a dictionary for peculiar handwritten characters with use of an optical character reader itself, by writing laterally the characters to be registered on a single line of an original with addition of a mark showing the height of the line. CONSTITUTION:When a dictionary for peculiar handwritten characters is produced, a character, e.g., 'i' to be registered on a single line of an original is written laterally up to about 10 pieces at intervals and a mark M is put at a position slightly distant from the last 'i' to show the height of the line. Then this original is scanned by an image scanner 2 and the lines are segmented with the space during which the mark M is detected and not in the next time defined as the height of a single character. As a result, even such characters like 'i', 'j', etc., which are vertically separated into two parts can be defined as a single character as a whole. Thus a character pattern can be correctly segmented. In the character register mode even the peculiar handwritten characters can be smoothed and registered in a character recognizing dictionary file of a hard disk device 7 via a keyboard 1. In such a way, a dictionary for peculiar handwritten characters is easily produced.
