Abstract: A dictionary in which a character train serving as a processing unit upon compression has been registered is stored into a character train dictionary storing unit. In a character train comparing unit, the registration character train in the character train dictionary storing unit and a partial character train in non-compression data are compared, thereby detecting the coincident partial character train. A code output unit allocates a predetermined code every partial character train detected by the character train comparing unit and outputs. The character train dictionary storing unit allocates character train codes of a fixed length of 17 bits to about 130,000 words and substantially compresses a data amount to the half or less irrespective of an amount of document data.
