Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a network creating unit that creates a network in which respective characters of plural character recognition results are represented as nodes, and in which nodes of adjacent character images are connected with a link, a first determining unit that determines a first candidate boundary in the network, a second determining unit that determines a second candidate boundary different from the first candidate boundary in the network, and an extracting unit that extracts, as to-be-searched objects, plural candidate character strings from a set of candidate character strings each formed of nodes between the first candidate boundary and the second candidate boundary.
