Abstract
According to one embodiment, a character input device includes a touch panel and a control unit. The touch panel detects contact with respect to a surface thereof. The control unit performs, when detection of contact is started on the touch panel, character recognition processing based on a trajectory connecting each position at which the contact is detected. The control unit displays, when a character is recognized by the character recognition processing, a virtual keyboard on a display surface of the touch panel to receive input of a character from the virtual keyboard.
