A system according to the present invention: selects, from an input text, plural candidate character strings which are candidates to be recognized as a word; generates plural pronunciation candidates of the selected candidate character strings; generates frequency data by combining data in which the generated pronunciation candidates are respectively associated with the character strings; generates recognition data in which character strings respectively indicating plural words contained in the input speech are associated with pronunciations; and selects and outputs a combination contained in the recognition data, out of combinations each consisting of one of the candidate character strings and one of the pronunciation candidates.
