Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes an image reading unit, a character recognition unit, an operation unit, and a file generation unit. The image reading unit generates image information which includes at least one of a character string and a table. The character recognition unit recognizes characters and generates character information corresponding to each character included in one of the at least one of the character string and the table. The operation unit receives, from a user, a selected file format of an electronic file to be generated. The file generation unit generates an electronic file including the generated character information in accordance with the selected file format. The character recognition unit recognizes the characters and generates the character information in the generated image information in accordance with the one of the at least one of the character string and the table that corresponds to the selected file format.
