14. A computerized method of performing word recognition comprising: receiving a word input signal representing one or more words; performing word recognition upon the signal to produce one or more best scoring words corresponding to the word input signal; treating one of said best scoring words as the currently selected word; providing a user interface enabling a user to select a command to display a transformed word choice list; responding to a user selection of said command by displaying a transformed word choice list produced by applying a plurality of transformations to the currently selected word and placing on the displayed transformed word choice list the transformed word, if any, that results from the application of each such transformation to the currently selected word; providing a user interface enabling a user to select one of the transformed words in the displayed transformed word choice list; and responding to the selection of such a transformed word by having the selected transformed word, instead of the currently selected word, be the output produced in correspondence with the recognition of the word input signal; wherein each of said plurality of specific transformations is a specific transformation for changing a given currently selected word to a different word or form having a corresponding predefined relationship to the given word by transforming the given word: to a word having a different grammatical form but the same word root; to a homonym of the given word; or between a spelled representation using one or more letters of the alphabet and a non-spelled representation that uses only characters that are not letters of the alphabet.
