PURPOSE:To read a character such as manuscript Kanji(Chinese character) or the like with high accuracy by allowing a character similar to the shape of an input character in order to be outputted from a character recognizer and using an index of a word dictionary and link information so as to attain collation of words. CONSTITUTION:A scanning section 20 scans a character on a document by a command of a common control section 10 and transfers a picture signal to a recognizing section 30. The recognizing section 30 calculates the similarily between the shape of the input character and the standard shape of character of each character and outputs a code of plural candidate characters to a word collating section 60 in the order of higher similarity. The collating section 60 combines the candidates stored in a collating order table storage section 40 so as to check whether or not the candidate character code string corresponding to the combination exists in a word dictionary storage section 50, and when the string exists, the section 60 outputs the character code string to an output line 64. When the string does not exist, the similar processing is repeated according to the order of the collation order table.
