Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus acquires an image by reading a document, extracts a plurality of regions having a predetermined attribute from the acquired image, determines information about a registered document most similar to the acquired image from among information about a plurality of registered documents stored in a storage unit with use of positional information about the extracted plurality of regions, selects a processing target region in the acquired image based on a position of a processing target region previously specified with respect to the determined information about the most similar registered document, performs character recognition processing on the selected processing target region, and displays text data obtained by the character recognition processing.
