Next, referring to FIG. 12, word storage means 39
The configuration of the word dictionary will be described in more detail. In this word dictionary, the spelling of a word, the translated word corresponding to the word, the part of speech, and the commonly used frequency (appearance frequency) are registered. This structure is the same regardless of each specialized dictionary and common dictionary.

The frequency of appearance of words is divided into four frequencies: frequency 1 is for junior high school and has the highest frequency, frequency 2 is for high school and has the second highest frequency, The frequency 3 is about the university and the third highest frequency, and the frequency 4 is about the university and above and is the least frequent.

The parts of speech are classified into nouns, verbs and adjectives. Other categories such as adverbs and prepositions may be added.

The specific operation of the support apparatus of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 13 and 14.

Before operating the apparatus of this embodiment, first,
The user determines the frequency of words that he / she wants to translate, based on his / her knowledge of words (vocabulary), and the condition of the word part of speech (for example, noun) and / or the frequency of words (for example, frequency 3). Is set, and a specialized dictionary is selected.

In the condition of setting the word frequency,
For example, by selecting frequency 3 (about university), frequencies less than that are included.

Here, it is assumed that the user specifies "frequency 3" and "noun" without specifying the specialized dictionary. If no specialized dictionary is specified, the common dictionary is automatically specified.

Next, the prepared English document is actually applied to the decryption support device of this embodiment. Step 20: The reading unit 30 reads the English document on the paper shown in FIG. 9 as an image.

Step 21: All the English documents read as images are character-recognized by the conversion means 32,
Converted to document text.

Step 22: The document text is stored in the text data storage means 33.

Step 23: It is judged whether or not the specialized dictionary is designated by the word search means 42 (hereinafter, the set dictionary is referred to as "reference dictionary").

When the dictionary is designated, the process proceeds to step 24, and the reference dictionary is set as the designated specialized dictionary. If there is no designation, the process moves to step 25 and the reference dictionary is set as the common dictionary.

Step 26: The condition setting means 34 judges whether or not the condition of the part of speech is set. If the condition of the part of speech is set, the process proceeds to step 27. If the condition of the part of speech is not set, the process proceeds to step 28.

Step 27: The condition setting means 34 determines whether or not there is a condition setting for word frequency. If the frequency is set, the process proceeds to step 29. If not, the process proceeds to step 30.

Step 28: The condition setting means 34 determines whether or not there is a condition setting for the word frequency. If the frequency is set, the process proceeds to step 31. If there is no condition setting, the warning sound of the notifying means 49 is sounded because there is no condition setting, and the condition setting by the user is waited.

Step 29: The condition setting means 34 sets two conditions, that is, the type of the designated part of speech and the frequency of the word, as search conditions.

Step 30: The condition setting means 34 sets only the designated part of speech as the search condition.

Step 31: The condition setting means 34 sets only the specified frequency condition as a search condition.

Step 32: The word selecting means 36 sequentially takes out each word in the document text, and the word searching means 42 reads out and compares the search conditions and the like concerning the word.
The editing control means 43 spells the word for each word in the text document and the spelling for the word satisfying the search condition so that the translated word is connected immediately after the spelling of the word only for the word satisfying the condition. And the translated word are stored in the translated text data storage means 45. With reference to FIG. 10, in the present embodiment, the word selection means 36 adds "toast, congratulatory words", which is a translation of "toast", to the spelling of words.

This step will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 14. One word is extracted from the text document (step 32A), and it is judged whether or not the word satisfies the search condition (step 32B). Thus, only the spelling of a word or the spelling of that word and its translation is stored.
Furthermore, it is judged whether all the words in the text document have been matched (step 32C). If the matching of all the words has not been completed, the process returns to step 32A. Go to step.

Step 33: The word selecting means 36 judges whether or not there is a word satisfying the search condition in the document text, and if there is no word satisfying the search condition, the warning sound of the notifying means 49 is sounded. Then, it waits for the user to change the dictionary and the search condition.

The warning sound of this step is different from that of step 28, so that the user can determine the meaning of the warning by changing the sound quality, height, frequency, etc. of the warning sound.

Step 34: The edited document text stored in the translated text data storage means 45 is printed and output (see FIG. 15).

Therefore, in this embodiment, when the user judges that his / her vocabulary is at the university level, the condition setting means 34 of the apparatus of this embodiment sets "frequency 3" corresponding to the university level, and at the same time. When the part of speech is set to "noun" and then applied to the apparatus of this embodiment, "toast" which is a noun and corresponds to a frequency of 3 or less is selected, and "toas" in the document text is selected.
Immediately after "t", the translated word "toast, congratulatory text" is inserted and printed immediately.

That is, in the present embodiment, when the user's own vocabulary ability, language ability, etc. are judged by himself and set as a retrieval condition in the apparatus, the document text (full text) in which the translation of a word of his vocabulary rank or higher is inserted. ) Is output.

Further, the display means 47, if instructed by the input means, displays the document text after the translation is inserted,
That is, the entire text of the document text in which the translated word is inserted is displayed.

[0092]

According to the first aspect of the invention, the output in which the translated sentence is inserted immediately after the designated original word of the original text is obtained from the original document designated by a symbol or the like in the original word by an extremely simple operation. Being able to do so, the reader of the source text can immediately obtain a sentence that does not contain a word that does not make sense.

Further, the invention of claim 4 has an effect of improving the translation accuracy because the specialized dictionary can be designated.

Further, according to the invention of claim 5, since the translated word of only the word satisfying the condition regarding the word is inserted into the document text and output, the reader can immediately obtain the sentence which does not include the word whose meaning is unknown. is there.
