PURPOSE: To retrieve even a word, whose reading is not clearly remembered, by converting the part of unknown reading by using a symbol showing the presence/absence of reading, and performing partial retrieval concerning reading. CONSTITUTION: When a complementary symbol '∼' expressing the presence/ absence of reading is inputted while being connected to a character string to show its reading, a microprocessor CPU detects character strings having the character string showing this reading out of a word dictionary TANDIC and extracts the correspondent word, namely, the character string for description. When a number (n) of characters with unknown reading is inputted in relation to the symbol '∼', the microprocessor CPU extracts the character string for description, whose reading is expressed by the (n) pieces of character, to be connected to that reading out of the word dictionary TANDIC. Further, when there is no voiced sound/p-sound in the kana syllabary, word dictionary retrieval is performed while including the voiced sound/p-sound in the kana syllabary in addition to these readings. Namely, the symbol '∼' expressing the presence/ absence of reading is considered as an arbitrary character string and the converted result can be obtained. |
