PURPOSE:To obtain the desired KANJI (Chinese characters) description and other information without the second input of a correct character string despite input of a wrong reading/spelling character string, by using a spelling changing part and a spelling changing indication key. CONSTITUTION:When a wrong reading/spelling KANA (Japanese syllabary) character string, e.g., two Japanese 'CHIJIMU' of different spelling ways are supplied, a memory retrieving/extracting part 2 retrieves a reading/spelling part in a memory 1 and extracts the KANJI expression coincident with the input character string 'CHIJIMU' and other information. Then a character string 'CHIJIMU' including KANJI is displayed. When a spelling changing indication key 5 is pushed, a spelling changing part 3 which changes an easy-to- mistake Japanese reading/spelling into another one changes the easy-to-mistake character 'JI' into a correct one and produces a correct character string 'CHIJIMU'. Then the part 2 retrieves the memory 1 by means of the changed character string 'CHIJIMU' and extracts the KANJI description coincident with said character string 'CHIJIMU' and other information. In such a way, the desired KANJI description 'CHIJIMU' is obtained.
