PURPOSE:To improve validity of the conversion result of a code string extending over plural fields by providing a class information storage part where weight information of plural fields are held and setting precedence among candidates of an output code string in accordance with contents of this storage part. CONSTITUTION:When a Katakana (the square form of Japanese syllabary) input code string is inputted from a terminal equipment 1, a terminal input control part 2 inputs it to a dictionary retrieving part 4 through an input storage part 3. The retrieving part 4 retrieves a dictionary item corresponding to the input code string by a dictionary storage part 5. Retrieval results are transmitted to an output synthesizing part 12 through the retrieving part 4 and an internal conversion processing part 11 in accordance with their contents. The synthesizing part 12 synthesizes the output of the retrieveing part 4 and the output of the processing part 11 and outputs the result to a priority processing part 8 through a retrieval item storage part 6. The processing part 8 outputs results to the terminal equipment 1 through an output buffer 9 and a terminal output control part 10 in accordance with precedence by a class information storage part 7, where weighting information of the class of each item is held, and plural output display flags 13. Thus, validity of the conversion result of the code string extending over plural fields is improved.
