    Abstract: An extended-word selecting section calculates a score for a phoneme string formed of one or more phonemes, corresponding to the user's voice, and searches a large-vocabulary dictionary for a word having one or more phonemes equal to or similar to those of a phoneme string having a score equal to or higher than a predetermined value. A matching section calculates scores for the word searched for by the extended-word selecting section in addition to a word preliminarily selected by a preliminary word-selecting section.
