<p>The text generating apparatus disclosed herein converts received acoustic speech signals to sequences of characterizing data (41), and then compares the sequences with tokens representing corresponding vocabulary words to be recognized (43), thereby to obtain a list of tokens which best match the data sequence. The words corresponding to the best matching tokens are then displayed (47) and the user can designate a word containing a root spelling for which he would like to see other forms (55). A root is extracted from the designated word (57), preferably by stripping from the word any suffix which matches a predetermined list of suffixes. Words incorporating the root are then identified and displayed as a new list (59) and the user can then select a word from the new list (56), either for incorporation in the text being generated or for further editing (61).</p> |
