PURPOSE:To cope with character cut out of a handwritten drawing, a free format document, OCR paper without character frame etc. by enabling to separate character one by one even when characters are in contact with each other in the data. CONSTITUTION:In a character data processing device, the result of optical scanning of a drawing in which handwritten characters to be segmented are written is stored in a picture memory 1, and scanned data are loaded from inside of the picture memory 1. Character area of the loaded data is determined by a character area determining section 2. A character frame of the determined character area is extracted, and segmenting of individual character is made by a character frame extracting section 3. Segmenting of individual character is identified supposing that, for instance, the width W of a character is within 2/3h where (h) is the height of the character. That is, the characters adjoining but written off from each other are segmented on the basis of such width W.
