INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS THAT CREATES PROCESSED TEXT DATA FROM TEXT DATA, BY CHANGING ORDER OF SENTENCES IN TEXT DATA, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

An information processing apparatus includes an image reading device, and a control device that acts as a text converter, a divider, an extractor, and a text processor. The text converter converts a source image acquired by the image reading device from the source document, into text data. The divider divides the text data converted by the text converter into a plurality of text groups, using a predetermined criterion. The extractor extracts, from the plurality of text groups divided by the divider, a key text group containing a specific word identified by a predetermined rule, among words contained in the text data constituting the plurality of text groups. The text processor creates processed text data by placing the key text group at a head position, and placing remaining text groups other than the key text group in the plurality of text groups, at a position subsequent to the key text group.
