Abstract

A sounds-like spelling group is generated in which scores are used for word descriptions. A user selects a correct sounds-like spelling from a generated sounds-like spelling group, and a group of base forms is generated with scores provided for the selected sounds-like spelling and the reading of the word. In this fashion, a base form having a score that exceeds a reference value is registered without a voice recording being required. During the speech recognition process as performed by a user, when a predetermined error state is detected, e.g., when the number of recognition errors exceeds N, a panel is output requesting that the user register the inscription, the sounds-like spelling and the pronunciation inscription for the word and that the user record a corresponding pronunciation. In accordance with the pronunciation provided by the user, the base form is obtained and is re-registered in the speech recognition dictionary.
