Abstract
According to one embodiment, a handwritten document processing apparatus includes an inputter, classifier, divider, and determiner. The inputter inputs stroke data. The classifier classifies the stroke data into data of a plurality of ruled lines and stroke data other than ruled lines. The divider divides a region including the plurality of ruled lines into first regions each corresponding to a cell bounded by four ruled lines and second regions each including at most three ruled lines. The determiner determines whether a ruled line in the second region is a first ruled line, to one end point of which a ruled line is not connected, or a second ruled line, to one end point of which a virtual circumscribed ruled line is connected.
