Patent number: 9928828Abstract: According to an embodiment, a transliteration work support device includes an analysis unit, a storage unit, an estimation unit, a construction unit, a correction unit, and an update unit. The analysis unit performs language analysis on document data and creates transliteration auxiliary information representing a way of transliteration of a word or a phrase in the document data. The storage unit stores a correction history representing a way of transliteration corrected in the past of the word or the phrase. The estimation unit estimates a correction place and a correction candidate of the document data or the transliteration auxiliary information from the history. The construction unit constructs work list information including work items corresponding to types of corrections according to the correction candidate and progress information. The correction unit corrects the document data or the transliteration auxiliary information.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2016Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBAInventors: Kosei Fume, Yuka Kuroda, Yoshiaki Mizuoka, Masahiro Morita
