<p>A European language processing machine equipped with a spelling correction function has an input device (1) for inputting characters in European language, a memory device (2) for storing the characters inputted by the input device (1), a dictionary device (4) having a main dictionary and at least one correction table to be used for correction of incorrectly inputted characters, a computer device (5) for judging whether or not a character string stored in the memory device (2) is contained in the main dictionary (4) and for selecting a correct word through one character addition or one character replacement with respect to an inputted and incorrectly spelt word, and an output device (3) for outputting the correct word. In this machine, when it is judged that the character string stored in the memory device (2) is not contained in the main dictionary (4), an operator's intended word can be obtained within a relatively short time through one character addition or one character replacement in accordance with the correction table. When the character string obtained after correction is contained in the main dictionary (4), the character string is outputted as the correct word from the output device (3).</p> |
