Editing information generating means 13 that generates editing information 70 in which predetermined additional information is added to homophones manually generated from text data.
, an edit information area 21 as an edit information storage means for storing the edit information 70, and an edit information search means 14 for searching the stored edit information 70 using the additional information as a key.
, the homophone dictionary area 23 is searched based on the edited information 70.
The apparatus includes a homophone reading means 15 for reading homophones and their meanings from a homophone dictionary stored in the computer.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 refers to a conversion means that searches the word dictionary stored in the word dictionary area 22 for manually entered characters and performs a predetermined conversion, and reference numeral 12 refers to a display device 30 for displaying the converted results.
40 is a keyboard for inputting characters.

The converting means 11, the display output means 12, the editing information generating means 13, the editing information searching means 14, and the homophone calling means 15 are included in the processing device 10.

In addition, the editing information area 21 and the homophone dictionary area 23 are
It is provided in a memory 20 having a word dictionary area 22 in which a roadway dictionary is stored.

According to FIG. 2, the editing information 70 includes a text number 71, a page value 72, and a line value 73 of manually created text data.
, column values 74 and headings 75.

The feature of the present invention is that in FIG. 1, in the processing device 10,
This homophone dictionary is provided with an editing information generating means 13, an editing information searching means, and a homophone reading means 15, and in which an editing information area 21 and a homophone 3go dictionary in which homophones and their meanings are registered are stored in a memory 20. This is because the area 23 is provided.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 3 and explanatory diagrams of display examples shown in FIGS. 4(a), 4(a) and 4(c).

The conversion means 11 first sets a working mode in order to specify either text data input or proofreading (step 31). Determine the set work mode (
In step S2), if the input work mode is J mode, text data is input (step S3). If the human-generated text data includes a homophonic score, the editing information generating means 13 generates the editing information 70 of the homophone (step S4). In the generated editing information 70, the serial number added to the text being input is acquired as the text number 71, and the page, row, and column values in manual input are acquired as the page value 72, row value 73, and column value 74, respectively. be obtained. Further, the reading of the homophone is acquired in the heading 75. The homophone editing information 70 is generated in the order in which the homophones appear during input and stored in the editing information area 21, and ends when the input ends (step S5).

Next, a case where the work mode is set to the homophone search mode will be described. When setting the search mode for homophones (step S1), specifying the search for homophones in proofreading (
Step S6), the editing information search means 14 reads out the editing information 70 stored in the editing information area 21 from the beginning and searches for the same sound score (step S7), and the page value 72 and line value 73 of the editing information 70 are searched for. , the column value 74 and the heading 75 are compared and matched with the inputted text file to search for homophones as shown in FIG. 4(a) (step S8). If they match, the same note is highlighted on the text proofing screen as shown in Figure 4 (0)).
