Information processing apparatus, program, and method that display correction candidate character for selected character based on found character string from master data

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that when executed by a computer causes the computer to perform:

• executing character recognition processing on a character string image including a plurality of characters;
• displaying a character string as a result of the character recognition processing on the character string image;
• in a case where one character in the character string displayed as the result of the character recognition processing is selected by a user, finding;
• a first character string and a second character string from a plurality of character strings managed in a database,
• wherein the found first character string is different from the displayed character string in the selected one character,
• wherein the found second character string is different from the displayed character string in a predetermined number of characters that include the selected one character and another character, and
• wherein the predetermined number is two or three;
• displaying at least one correction candidate character for the selected one character based on the found first character string and the found second character string;
• and
• correcting, when one of the displayed at least one correction candidate character is selected by the user, the character string displayed as the result of the character recognition processing using the selected correction candidate character.

An information processing method executed by an information processing apparatus, the information processing method comprising:

• executing character recognition processing on a character string image including a plurality of characters;
• displaying a character string as a result of the character recognition processing on the character string image;
• in a case where one character in the character string displayed as the result of the character recognition processing is selected by a user, finding;
• a first character string and a second character string from a plurality of character strings managed in a database,
• wherein the found first character string is different from the displayed character string in the selected one character,
• wherein the found second character string is different from the displayed character string in a predetermined number of characters that include the selected one character and another character, and
• wherein the predetermined number is two or three;
• displaying at least one correction candidate character for the selected one character based on the found first character string and the found second character string;
• and
• correcting, when one of the displayed at least one correction candidate character is selected by the user, the character string displayed as the result of the character recognition processing using the selected correction candidate character.
