ABSTRACT:
A full address reading apparatus includes a Japanese full address reader, an English full address reader, and a selector. The Japanese full address reader reads a full address under an assumption that a postal code and address are written on a mail item as a read target in a format using Japanese language. The English full address reader reads a full address under an assumption that a postal code and address are written on a mail item as a read target in a format using English Language. The selector determines reliability levels of read results for the same read target from the Japanese and English full address readers and selects and outputs a read result having a higher reliability level from the read results from the Japanese and English full address readers.
