  • Publication number: 20230421712
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a character recognition unit configured to perform character recognition processing for recognizing a character string included in image data, a transmission unit configured to transmit the image data to store the image data in a folder including a name containing the character string acquired by the character recognition processing, and a reception unit configured to receive an instruction from a user. In a case where a result of the character recognition processing by the character recognition unit does not satisfy a predetermined condition, the transmission unit does not transmit the image data until the reception unit receives the instruction from the user. In a case where the result of the character recognition processing by the character recognition unit satisfies the predetermined condition, the transmission unit transmits the image data without receiving the instruction from the user by the reception unit.
