In one embodiment, a character recognition result verification apparatus has a group generation section and a verification image generation section. The group generation section generates a group including a plurality of character images recognized as the same character from a document image including a plurality of character images. The verification image generation section generates a verification image including a first region and a second region by superimposing the plurality of character images included in the generated group. The first region corresponds to a pixel having the same pixel value in all of the plurality of character images. The second region corresponds to a pixel having the same pixel value in a part of the plurality of character images.
