PURPOSE:To obtain a character segmenting device which can prevent erroneous segmenting of characters by detecting an optimum segmenting position around the position, which is determined by a character pitch or estimated character pitch to chop the character. CONSTITUTION:An estimation processing part 15 obtains the right end of a character at the right end or the position in correspondence to the left end of a character at the left side from a projection signal of one character string set in a projection signal memory 13 by detecting the position which first goes to ''0''. By utilizing the character pitch stored in a character pitch memory, binary signals in the projection signal memory 13 are overlapped from the position one character pitch at the right or left end away from a character at the right or left end, that is, folding by width of a character pitch is executed, and frequency distribution is generated. The estimation processing part 15 moves said start position at the place having the most blank lines from the obtained frequency distribution, that is, by length to a characteristic position of the frequency distribution, and transmits it to a segmenting start position memory 16.
