SPELL CHECKING DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem in a conventional spell check device that, since intended words for spell check are increased, the probability of the appearance of difficult words not expected by a user becomes very high, and it is difficult for the user to quickly find the objective phrase. SOLUTION: The spell check can be simply performed by narrowing the intended words for spell check to the phrases (dictionary data) which the user has retrieved in the past by one or more times. The narrowing of the intended words for spell check, is in proportion to the frequency of use by the user (academic level). COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
