ABSTRACT:
A document processor edits non-coded image data and coded text data, and stores the data in a memory. If writing to a document being edited is requested by a user, a determination is made as to whether or not character recognition of a stored image is required. If character recognition is required, the stored image is cut out of the memory to obtain character images. The character images are provided to a character recognition unit which generates corresponding character codes which are written in the document being edited.
