Abstract
A character recognition apparatus includes an acquisition unit, a specification unit, a movement unit, and a recognition unit. The acquisition unit acquires data representing a character string. The specification unit specifies an element of a compound character satisfying a predetermined condition for determining the compound character from the character string. The movement unit moves the element of the compound character close to an adjacent character. The recognition unit recognizes a changed character string in which the movement unit has moved the element of the compound character, based on a shape of characters and relevance between adjacent characters.
