Abstract
By using a character recognition result of a scan image, a user can set supplementary information such as a file name for the scan image with simple operation. There is provided an apparatus for performing a predetermined process on a scan image obtained by scanning a document, including: a display control unit configured to display a UI screen for performing the predetermined process, the UI screen displaying a character area in the scan image in a selectable manner to a user; and a setting unit configured to perform OCR processing on a character area selected by a user via the UI screen and set supplementary information for the predetermined process by using a character string extracted in the OCR processing, wherein, in a case where a user selects a plurality of character areas, the setting unit determines whether a delimiter should be inserted between the extracted character strings based on a positional relation between the plurality of selected character areas and, if it is determined that a delimiter should be inserted, inserts a delimiter between the extracted character strings.
