Abstract
An apparatus of a text image coding and decoding system includes a matching unit to compute a first distance between a symbol of a text image with a reference symbol of a symbol dictionary, to determine whether the symbol matches with the reference symbol according to the first distance and a first reference, and to compute a second distance between the one of the symbols with the reference symbol if the symbol does not match with the reference symbol according to the first distance and the first reference, and to determine whether the symbol matches with the reference symbol according to the second distance and a second reference.
