An input word is recognized as one of a set of reference words. A set of word distance signals representative of the correspondence of the input word to the reference words is generated. A set of weighted word distance signals is also generated. Responsive to the word distance signals and the weighted word distance signals, the reference word that most closely corresponds to the input word is selected.
