  • Image processing apparatus eliminating redundancy in scanned text data
    Patent number: 10855855
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an image reading unit and a controller. The image reading unit reads an image on a document to create image data. The controller executes a character conversion process on the image data created by the image reading unit to extract information on a character string included in the image and creates first document data corresponding to the extracted character string based on the extracted information on the character string. When the character string successively includes a first character string and at least one second character string identical to the first character string, the controller creates second document data where document data corresponding to the second character string has been deleted from the first document data using the first document data.
