PURPOSE:To facilitate the recognition of an (m+1)-syllable partial Kana (Japanese syllabary) character string, by using plural character candidates, which are attained on the basis of the pronunciatin of a single syllable unit, and their likelihood to atain priorities of plural kinds of m-syllable partial Kana character string and using the likelihood of the (m+1)th syllable. CONSTITUTION:Characters are divided and pronouced in single syllable units to input them to a pronunciation input device 1. The pronunciation input device 1 outputs corresponding Kana character candidates and their likelihood for every inputted single syllable and stores them in a storage device 2. A Kana character string priority operating device 3 prrorities of partial Kana character strings, which are constituted with Kana character candidat4s, in accordance with kana character candidates and their likelihood in the storage device 2 by operation and stores a pareliminarily designated number of, for example, 5 priorities of Kana character stings in a Kana character string priority storage device 4. Kana character strings having higher priorities are selected though 5<2> two-syllable partial Kana character strings are generated, and selected them and the likelihood of the third single syllable are operated in 5<2> operations, and this operation is repeated to select a Kana character string having a higher priority. Thus, the character correcting work is reduced. |
