Abstract
A character reading method performed by a computer connected to an imaging unit includes repeating processing of recognizing the character included in one-frame image input latest in parallel to input of the moving image, performing matching of a recognition result obtained by every piece of recognition processing in units of characters along a time axis, fixing the recognition result appearing with an appearance ratio larger than a reference value previously decided in the recognition processing continuously performed at least predetermined times, and outputting the fixed recognition result.
