Abstract: A character reader device of the present invention is capable of reading as read data characters written in a portion corresponding to a given read field on a manuscript; detecting a reject character in the read data; generating a pattern image corresponding to the reject character; displaying the read data, the reject character, and the pattern image; computing the position of a display area for the read data; deciding whether or not the computed display area is overlapped with the display area for the pattern image; shifting the pattern image to the area which is the outside of the display area for the read data if overlapped; and displaying it on the latter area.

Abstract: In a character reading system, a user-specific read processing is prepared by a user as separate from a standard read processing program (OCR handler) prepared by a maker, and it is stored in advance as an object program (executable load module) in a user execution file. An FC sheet on which format control information used in executing read processing is written, is fetched through an OCR and is registered in a user FC source file. Further, an interface file is prepared to provide an interface between the standard read processing program and the user processing program. A standard processing section fetches a slip and checks individual fields in the slip one by one, and writes in the interface file which file it is presently checking and the result of the checking. When there comes a field having user processing designated, the standard processing section starts a user processing section.
