PURPOSE:To accurately discriminate similar KANJIs (Chinese character) by constituting the titled device so that employed candidate characters are replaced with discrimination-unable characters in the case of phrases of allowable combination, storing the results in a text memory, and the results are inputted for a confirmation work by an operator by conversa tional format through CRT screen after ending the processing of the discrimination-unable characters of whole text. CONSTITUTION:An original 1 is set in a hand-written KANJI OCR part 2, and the KANJIs are optically read. A processor 4 discriminates an output character from the part 2 by means of pattern aligning method as referring to a standard pattern memory 5. A discriminated character is stored in the form of character code in a text memory 6, but for a character that is not discriminated, a discrimination-unable code is stored in the memory 6. The proces sor 4 obtains a phrase which is the combination of respective candidate characters listed up and characters before and after the discrimination-unable character concerned in the text memory, and checks whether or not this phrase is registered in a dictionary memory 3. When it is the phrase of existing combination, the candidate character is employed, and it is substituted in the part of a discrimination-unable code in the text memory 6. When the phrase is not present in the dictionary memory, the discrimination-unable code is left as it is in the text memory, then, it is confirmed by an operator.
