Abstract
An expression, for which complementary information can be outputted, is extracted from a document obtained by character recognition for an image. Complementary information related to the extracted expression is outputted when a character or a symbol adjacent to the beginning or the end of the extracted expression is not a predetermined character or symbol. Output of complementary information related to the extracted expression is skipped when the character or symbol adjacent to the beginning or the end of the extracted expression is the predetermined character or symbol. A problem that complementary information unrelated to an original text is outputted is prevented even when a false character recognition occurs.
