Abstract
A character recognition apparatus includes a stroke extracting unit, a noise-candidate extracting unit, a generating unit, a unit, and a specifying unit. The stroke extracting unit extracts multiple strokes from a recognition target. The noise-candidate extracting unit extracts noise candidates from the strokes. The generating unit generates multiple recognition result candidates obtained by removing at least one of the noise candidates from the recognition target. The unit performs character recognition on the recognition result candidates and obtains recognition scores. The specifying unit uses the recognition scores to specify a most likely recognition result candidate from the recognition result candidates as a recognition result.
