Abstract
Recognition of a text string is improved by analyzing the text string with respect to information about expected patterns of the parts of speech of words in the text string and by modifying the text string based on the analysis. Analyzing may include comparing the combinations of parts of speech to parts of speech associated with the words in the text string and, if at least one of the combinations of parts of speech matches parts of speech associated with the words, indicating that a compound word should be formed from the words associated with the matched parts of speech.
