This system translates strings of numbers input by degenerated keywords into a Japanese sentence with mixed Chinese characters and Japanese phonetic characters. Through degenerated keyword input, one line in the Japanese syllabary is matched with one number to allow fast and easy input. This system provides words by using inductive learning to compare the strings of numbers and the proofread translation results. Therefore, even if the dictionary is empty, the system can generate a dictionary adapted to the target field. However, input of a sequence of numbers from degenerated vowel information may cause ambiguity. To solve this problem, this system uses information on adjacent characters, top-level words and position presumption information. The use of top-level words and position presumption processing increases the number of words acquired, and the adjacent character information enables the conversion that takes connections between words into account.
