To provide an image processor, an image processing method, an image forming apparatus, an image forming method, an original reading device, and an original reading method for suppressing calculation quantity per page when discriminating the direction of scan data obtained by scanning a plurality of originals.
When judging the direction of an original by recognizing characters on image data obtained by scanning an original from a plurality of directions, in the case of judging the direction of the original of the second and following pages, character recognition is operated from one direction based on the direction of the original of the pages until the previous page or the most frequently judged direction of the original of the pages from the first page to the previous page, and when an approximate value in the results of character recognition is less than a threshold, character recognition is operated from the other direction, and the direction where the most reliable recognition result is obtained is judged as the direction of the original.
