A reading accuracy-improving system includes: a reading conversion unit for retrieving a plurality of candidate word strings from speech recognition results to determine the reading of each candidate word string; a reading score calculating unit for determining the speech recognition score for each of one or more candidate word strings with the same reading to determine a reading score; and a candidate word string selection unit for selecting a candidate to output from the plurality of candidate word strings on the basis of the reading score and speech recognition score corresponding to each candidate word string.
