PURPOSE:To improve the operability by regarding a character string as spelling of a naturalized word or an abbreviation to automatically perform the naturalized word spelling-KATAKANA (square form of Japanese syllabary) conversion when the character string which does not accord with spelling of Romaji (a method of writing Japanese in Roman characters) is inputted. CONSTITUTION:A controller 4 checks whether the character string inputted from a character input device 2 accords with the Romaji notation or not. If it accords with the Romaji notation, it is converted to HIRAGANA (cursive form of Japanese syllabary), KATAKANA or KANJI (Chinese character) and is displayed on a character display device 1. If the inputted character string does not accord with the Romaji notation, it is regarded as a naturalized word or an abbreviation to refer to a table of correspondence between spellings of naturalized words and KATAKANA characters or a table of correspondence between abbreviations and full-spelling character strings which is stored in a storage device 3, and the result is displayed on the device 1. Thus, switching between the Romaji-KANA (Japanese syllabary) conversion mode and the naturalized word spelling-KATAKANA conversion mode by the character input device 2 is unnecessary to improve the operability.
