Abstract
A natural language processing system and method includes a computing device that applies a phonetic code algorithm to a received proper name uttered by a user and determines from a phonetic name database whether multiple different spellings of the name exist. The computing device recognizes an utterance of the user providing a natural language cue regarding the correct spelling of the name or provides a voice prompt to the user including a natural language cue regarding the correct spelling of the name, and converts the name to text including the correct spelling.
