3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the word evaluation component calculates the matching metric for each candidate object by summing distance values calculated from each contact location in the input sequence to the location assigned to the character in the corresponding position of the candidate object, and applying a weighting function according to the frequency of use associated with the object.
