In a system, a setting window including at least a preview region in which a scanned image is previewed and a text field to which attribute information on the scanned image is input is displayed, when a character region within the scanned image previewed in the setting window is moused over, control to preliminarily display a character string corresponding to the moused-over character region in the text field is performed, and when the moused-over character region is clicked by a mouse, control to fix the character string preliminarily displayed in the text field is performed.

A device for registration of content in a filled-out application form is disclosed. The device is configured for scanning at least one portion of the filled-out application form. The device is configured for extracting filled-out content from the scanned form. The geometrical features of the master form are retrieved. The master form includes one or more anchor fields. Each anchor field has one or more anchor zones and at least one anchor segment. At least one anchor segment has global adjustment parameters and geometrical features. The extracted filled-out content is related to the retrieved geometrical features of a master form to create a new geometrical representation of the extracted filled-out content of the scanned application form. The new representation of the filled-out content based on the global adjustment parameters for the at least one anchor segment is globally adjusted. The globally adjusted filled-out content is locally adjusted.

Provided is an information processing apparatus including: a marking extraction circuit that extracts, from a script image including a plurality of markings respectively superimposed on a plurality of character strings, the plurality of markings; a same-character-string identification circuit that identifies the same character string out of the plurality of character strings on which the markings are respectively superimposed; and a symbol determination circuit that allocates the same symbol to the same character string and allocates different symbols to different character strings.

An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires a designated color which is designated as a color, which is converted into a specific color, of a pixel among pixels which express an image, a determination unit that determines whether or not a common color area, which is expressed by pixels in a common hue range, expresses prescribed information in the image, and a conversion unit that performs a first conversion process of converting a pixel corresponding to the acquired designated color into a specific color in the common color area which is determined to express the information, and performs a second conversion process of converting a pixel corresponding to a color in a wider hue range than the designated color into a specific color in the common color area which is determined to not express the information.

There is provided a document processing device for processing document data, and the document processing device includes a hardware processor that: acquires document data including a plurality of pieces of page data; specifies, from the document data, a common object existing at a corresponding position over a predetermined number of pieces or more of page data; and removes, when a common object is specified, the specified common object from each of the plurality of pieces of page data.

An information processing apparatus includes circuitry configured to recognize a character in an original image by character recognition, to generate a font, calculate a certainty factor of the character recognition, determine a color of the font based on the certainty factor by a first processing method, and determine a replacement color by a second processing method based on the certainty factor, and convert the original image into an editable electronic document including the font and an image in which the character pixel has the replacement color. The replacement color is a color to which a color of a character pixel of the recognized character is replaced.

An image processing apparatus includes: a designating unit configured to designate a color; a reading unit configured to read a document to generate a document image; a conversion unit configured to convert a color of a pixel in the document image to a specific color based on a designated color designated by the designating unit; and a specification unit configured to specify a graphic region in the document image. The conversion unit is configured not to convert a color of a pixel in the graphic region specified by the specification unit to the specific color.
