Spelling check apparatus including simple and quick similar word retrieval operation

摘要

A spelling check apparatus checks a spelling of a word entered from a keyboard, and also displays a word having a spelling similar to the spelling of the input word. The input word is modified by way of plural preselected methods, and when this modified word coincides with a word which has been stored in a word dictionary memory employed in this spelling check apparatus, this modified word is regarded as the similar word. The similar word is displayed every time the modification process for the input word by one preselected method has been accomplished.
