An image reading apparatus has a scan quality parameter extraction part, a scan quality evaluation part and a notification part. The scan quality parameter extraction part extracts scan quality parameters representing the quality of a scanned image from image data based on a scan error detection algorithm. The scan quality evaluation part determines whether a scan error occurs, based on the scan error detection algorithm and the scan quality parameters. Also, the notification part notifies a result determined by the scan quality evaluation part to a user.

Image reading apparatus

An image processing apparatus sequentially reduces a document, while changing the reduction factor step-by-step. Next, the image processing apparatus refers to the characters that constitute the document that has been reduced with the respective reduction factors, and specifies a reduction factor at which blank regions surrounded by line portions that express each character do not disappear. When an appropriate reduction factor is specified, the image processing apparatus specifies a resolution of the characters for that reduction factor, and converts the resolution of the document data to that specified resolution. Then, the image processing apparatus performs various processing for the document data whose resolution has been converted. Thus the resolution of document data is converted such that the document is reduced with a reduction factor suitable for computer processing.

Language translation device, image processing apparatus, image forming apparatus, language translation method and storage medium

The present invention provides a document processing apparatus, document processing method and a storage medium for storing thereof on purpose to offer document filing in which document can be registered with a little computation cost and with high speed, and retrieval can be performed with little oversight. In the document processing apparatus, a similar character classifying element classifies characters in a document image into similar character categories in advance and stores the classified categories together with their representative image features. When the document image is registered, a pseudo character recognizing element executes, without identifying each character in the text region, classification into character categories based on the image features less than those used in the ordinary character recognition and stores the category strings generated by identifying each character with the inputted image. In retrieval, a retrieval executing element converts each character in the retrieval keyword into nearest category, and retrieves a document including the converted category string as a part as a result of retrieval.
