Abstract

In the case where a character on an object is read by using a mobile terminal having a camera function, an image suitable to OCR is acquired in a short time. An information processing apparatus including a camera, which acquires a moving image by capturing a character string on an object by the camera, sets, for each frame making up the acquired moving image, a search area for character recognition for each character making up the character string, detects a candidate character from the search area, determines whether an evaluation value indicating likelihood of the detected candidate character is stable, and outputs a frame of the acquired moving image in response to the evaluation value is determined to be stable.
