To provide technique for objectively determining ability of proofreaders for digitized documents using an OCR program or the like.
This invention relates to an ability control method for proofreaders for proofreading an electronic document generated from a recognized document by executing the automatic character recognizing program. It comprises a procedure of estimating latent mis-recognized characters included in the electronic document, a procedure of calculating the number of detected mis-recognized characters as the number of mis-recognized characters in the electronic document detected by the proofreader, a procedure of detecting processing time required for proofreading the electronic document, and a procedure of determining a raw score related to the ability of the proofreader based on a ratio between the number of the latent mis-recognized characters and the number of the mis-recognized characters detected per unit time.
