CORRECTING SYSTEM OF CHARACTER RECOGNIZING RESULT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the generation of erroneous correction by facilitating the extension and maintenance of the function of a correcting rule necessary for the correction of a character recognizing result. SOLUTION: A candidate character string being a character recognizing result to an inputted character string is disposed from a first order to an n-th order to form a candidate character matrix 201 and this matrix 201 is transferred to a normal expression matching part 106. A matching part 106 is provided with a correction file 109 storing various correcting rules suited to various character string describing form outside a program, selects a correction rule suitable for the inputted matrix 201 from the file 109 and selects a character within the matrix 201 to prepare a candidate character string most suited to the selected correction rule. Continually, according to the selected correction rule, a character string replacing part 107 replaces a character string within the candidate character string 601 with correcter one and next a character replacing part 108 replaces individual character within a candidate character string 602 subjected to character string replacement with correcter one.
