Image processing system and image processing method

PROBLEM: To provide an image processing system including a user interface, in which the user can easily set a restricting condition used in the character recognition even if the user does not know the input rule, as well as an image processing method. MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEM: Provided is an image processing system that acquires character information from an input image. The image processing system includes a processor that performs character recognition to a region included in the input image under a predetermined restricting condition and a display operation unit that receives a setting of the restricting condition. The restricting condition includes at least designation of a character class in each character of a recognition target. The display operation unit displays, on an identical screen, a region indicating the set restricting condition and a plurality of objects correlated with a plurality of character classes that can be designated, and adds, when any one of the objects is selected, the character class correlated with the selected object to the restricting condition.
