Abstract
An electronic apparatus for translation from a host language to a non-host language in which the individual word is evaluated as to its contextual meaning. The sequence of words, typically a sentence, within the host language, which is communicated to the electronic apparatus is translated, through a recognition device into a series of recognized words. These recognized words are further refined through analysis of their contextual meaning within the sequence (sentence) so as to differentiate between words of similar pronunciation and between homonyms. The present invention permits the direct entry, from voice, to a translator to a foreign language or alternatively to control language for use with an electronic or electromechanical apparatus.
