An electronic device according to an embodiment disclosed in the present document may comprise: an imaging device for generating image data; a communication circuit; at least one processor operatively connected to the imaging device and the communication circuit; and a memory operatively connected to the processor, for storing a command.

Electronic device and method for recognizing characters

Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an electronic device and a character recognition method thereof. The electronic device may include a housing, a touchscreen display exposed through a first portion of the housing, an image sensor exposed through a second portion of the housing, a wireless communication circuit located in the housing, a processor operatively coupled to the touchscreen display, the image sensor, and the wireless communication circuit, and a memory operatively coupled to the processor. The memory may store instructions, which when executed, cause the processor to control the electronic device to display a user interface including an image acquired from the image sensor or stored in the memory, and recognize a region including a text in the image for optical character recognition by detecting a boundary of the region, comparing a size of the region with a predetermined size, and selecting the region for the optical character recognition based at least in part on the comparison result. Other various embodiments are also possible.

Electronic device and character recognition method thereof

A method for processing data by using an optical character reader (OCR) is provided. The method includes obtaining OCR data from each image file of a plurality of image files and storing the obtained OCR data, receiving a search command with respect to an object, extracting the object from the stored OCR data, selecting OCR data which includes the object from among the OCR data, and displaying a list of image files which correspond to the selected OCR data.
