Abstract
A character recognizing system for recognizing an input pattern of a character by comparing with a plurality of standard patterns is disclosed. The standard patterns are classified into a plurality of groups, and each group has a common standard pattern and a plurality of non-common standard patterns. The non-common standard patterns represent differences between the standard patterns and the common standard pattern. An input pattern read out by scanning a printed character is first compared with the common standard pattern of any group. When the difference between the input pattern and the common standard pattern is less than a predetermined value, the input pattern is compared with the non-common standard patterns in the same group.
