A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

• receiving an electronic document generated while maintaining text information by an application program or an electronic document generated by reading an image with a document reading apparatus;
• performing type determination as to whether the received electronic document including a portion representing a text is generated by the application program or generated by the document reading apparatus based on generator device information in the electronic document, wherein the electronic document stores the generator device information on a generator device that generated the electronic document;
• and
• determining based on a result of the type determination whether an optical character recognition process is to be performed on the electronic document.
