ABSTRACT:
An OCR apparatus includes an operation unit configured to receive an input operation such as specification of an area to be verified, a display unit configured to visually present information, a scanner unit configured to convert character information provided on a document into image information, an OCR-processing unit configured to generate new character information by adding information about the result of evaluating OCR accuracy to character information obtained by subjecting the image information to OCR processing, a sound-conversion unit configured to convert the new character information into sound information adapted to evaluate the accuracy of the OCR result, a sound-output unit configured to output the sound based on sound information, and a control unit 17 configured to control each of the above-described units.
