  • Publication number: 20060210198
    Abstract: An OCR system includes an operation-and-display unit having an operation unit that receives input-operation information transmitted from a user and a display unit that visually presents information to the user that are integrated with each other, a read unit that converts information provided on a document into image information, an OCR-processing unit that acquires character information by OCR processing for the image information, a job-control unit that controls operations performed by the read unit and the OCR-processing unit, and a control unit that controls the above-described units. The control unit controls the display unit for showing an OCR result for a first page and an image scanned by the read unit so that the user can compare the OCR result to the scanned image. Where the input-operation information includes a request for cancellation, the scanning and the OCR processing are stopped.
