An image processor comprising a control unit, wherein the control unit includes an obtaining unit that obtains image data generated as a result of reading a document by a reader in which a predetermined document reading condition is set; a selecting unit that allows a user to select an use of the image data obtained by the obtaining unit out of a plurality of the uses set in advance; a processing unit that processes the image data obtained by the obtaining unit according to an image processing condition suitable for the use selected by the selecting unit; and a transferring unit that transfers the image data after being processed by the processing unit to an application suitable for the use selected by the selecting unit.

Image processor, image processing method, and computer program product

An image-data-acquisition control unit controls an image-data acquiring unit that acquires computer-recognizable image data, to accumulate the image data in a set of information units. A character-recognition control unit controls an optical character-recognizing unit that extracts a character from the set of image data accumulated by the image-data-acquisition control unit, to accumulate a group of characters obtained by the optical character-recognizing unit in a set of character information units. Once a start signal is received from a starting unit, the image-data-acquisition control unit and the character-recognition control unit continue to operate independently.
