PURPOSE:To unify retrieve dictionary words having the same notation but different reading while preventing the capacity or processing of a reading substituting dictionary or the like from being increased. CONSTITUTION:Whether character substitution for a character string inputted from an input part 3 is necessary or not is judged based on a character substituting table 7, and when the character substitution is necessary, the inputted character string is saved in a buffer 4, substitution is executed based on the table 7 and retrieval is executed by an independent word dictionary 6 based on a condition stored in a retrieving time restricting condition buffer 9, so that dictionary words having differences in their reading can be unitedly retrieved without preparing a master reading separation type reading dictionary. |
