3. A correction device for correcting a text recognized by a speech recognition device, the correction device comprising: a storage device configured to store a lexicon of alternatives comprising a plurality of entries, wherein the plurality of entries include one or more alternatives determined from one or more sources of knowledge that are independent of an analysis by an acoustic model and a language model used by the speech recognition device, wherein the one or more sources of knowledge include confusion information compiled from corrected texts and associated recognized texts; and at least one processor configured to: display at least some of the plurality of entries as a list of alternatives to individual word parts, words and/or word sequences of the recognized text.
