Information processing apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• a recognition unit that performs recognition of one or more characters included in an image and outputs character information indicating the one or more characters;
• a memory that stores a first specific character and a second specific character in association with each other, the first specific character having an index taking on a value lower than a predetermined value, the index indicating accuracy of the recognition performed by the recognition unit, the second specific character being output after the recognition unit performs the recognition of the first specific character;
• a registration unit that registers a first character or a first character string as a target for extraction from the character information;
• an addition unit that adds a second character or a second character string as a target for extraction if the first character or the first character string includes the first specific character, the second character or the second character string being composed by replacing the first specific character in the first character or the first character string with the second specific character;
• and
• an extraction unit that extracts the first character or the first character string and the second character or the second character string from the character information.

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

• performing recognition of one or more characters included in an image and outputting character information indicating the one or more characters;
• storing a first specific character and a second specific character in association with each other, the first specific character having an index taking on a value lower than a predetermined value, the index indicating accuracy of the recognition performed in the performing of the recognition, the second specific character being output after the performing of the recognition of the first specific character;
• registering a first character or a first character string as an extraction target and a second character or a second character string as an extraction target if an operator performs an operation for registering the first character or the first character string as the extraction target and if the first character or the first character string includes the first specific character, the second character or the second character string being composed by replacing the first specific character in the first character or the first character string with the second specific character;
• and
• extracting, from the character information, the first character or the first character string and the second character or the second character string that are registered as the respective extraction targets.
