PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a dictionary size and to improve the transformation efficiency. SOLUTION: In this character input device, a KANJI (Chinese character) corresponding to 'being in good health (in KATAKANA, a Japanese syllabary)' is retrieved from a dictionary on the basis of index information and its character code is acquired. On the other hand, a character code of 'being in good health (in HIRAGANA)' and a character code of 'being in good health (in KATAKANA)' are generated by processing of software. Then, a candidate character string consisting of the character code of the Chinese character and each character code of KANA is generated, the candidate character string is successively displayed in descending or ascending order, a specified one out of the candidate character string is selected, and KANA/KANJI transformation of a sound 'being in good health' is completed. At this time, when an ascending order key is pressed, the 'being in good health (in KANA)' is displayed first; thus it is possible to immediately transform it into KATAKANA. |
