METHOD FOR CONVERTING NON-PHONETIC CHARACTERS INTO SURROGATE WORDS FOR INPUTTING INTO COMPUTER

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for converting nonphonetic characters representing vocabulary in languages into surrogate words for inputting into a computer is provided for incorporating the voice recognizing and generating technology into computers processing information in the oriental languages. CONSTITUTION: A method for converting non-phonetic characters representing vocabulary in languages into surrogate words for inputting into a computer includes the steps of alphabetizing a pictographic/ideographic radical of each character according to its pronunciation in a respective language, with the resulting spelling then being used as a prefix for a newly created surrogate word; alphabetizing a phonetic radical according to its pronunciation in the respective language, with the resulting spelling then being used as a suffix for the newly created surrogate word; and combining the prefix and suffix together and separate them with a separate mark such as a hyphen, thus creating the surrogate word for each specific character used in the written form of the respective language.
