Abstract

PURPOSE:To read out a slip and to execute its recognition processing without increasing both the loads of a customer and an operator when the customer misinputs data in the slip by providing a deciding area corresponding to a character recognition area to decide the validity of the character recognition area. CONSTITUTION:When an entered slip 11 is inputted, a character recognizing area 12 and a deciding area 13 are read out 41, the character recognition of the area 12 is executed, the number of entered pixels in the area 13 is found out and whether the number is more than a fixed value or not is discriminated 43. The validity of the corresponding character recognition area is decided 44 in accordance with the discriminated result and a specific code (painted out with black) is substituted for a recognizing character decided as an invalid character and displayed. An operator observes the display to inspect the contents, and when a correction input is generated, the correction processing of the recognizing character is executed, and after completing the correction, the recognizing character decided as an invalid one is deleted and a compressed recognition data are stored 47. Consequently, a misinputted area can be checked through a display 46, the slip can be read out and recognized without increasing the load of the customer and the operator and the efficiency of the inspection can be improved.
