Method and system for editing electronic ink

ActiveUS7259752B1Select accurately and quicklyPerform quickly and accuratelyCharacter and pattern recognitionSpecial data processing applicationsElectronic documentHandwriting
A computer-implemented method and system for erasing and editing an electronic document. A goal for computing devices that support the use of a stylus that can record handwriting strokes and present them in an electronic document is to present electronic ink that behaves similar to real ink from a pen. The nature of the electronic document and the electronic ink makes it difficult to edit the ink as one would with traditional pen and paper. However, an editing module accompanying the computing device can provide a user with functionality that facilitates the editing of electronic ink. Specifically, the editing module cna provide a feedback mechanisms, such as highlighting or shading, that indicates to the user which portions of handwriting strokes are selected for editing. Additionally, the editing module can recognize certain gestures and determine which handwriting strokes to apply the editing gesture to.

Method and system for providing alternatives for text derived from stochastic input sources

A computer-implemented method for providing a candidate list of alternatives for a text selection containing text from multiple input sources, each of which can be stochastic (such as a speech recognition unit, handwriting recognition unit, or input method editor) or non-stochastic (such as a keyboard and mouse). A text component of the text selection may be the result of data processed through a series of stochastic input sources, such as speech input that is converted to text by a speech recognition unit before being used as input into an input method editor. To determine alternatives for the text selection, a stochastic input combiner parses the text selection into text components from different input sources. For each stochastic text component, the combiner retrieves a stochastic model containing alternatives for the text component. If the stochastic text component is the result of a series of stochastic input sources, the combiner derives a stochastic model that accurately reflects the probabilities of the results of the entire series. The combiner creates a list of alternatives for the text selection by combining the stochastic models retrieved. The combiner may revise the list of alternatives by applying natural language principles to the text selection as a whole. The list of alternatives for the text selection is then presented to the user. If the user chooses one of the alternatives, then the word processor replaces the text selection with the chosen candidate.

A method and apparatus to align and edit chunks of text and translation. Language learners compare segments of text and translation. Both text and translation are segmented into word groups or “chunks” and related to each other. The related chunks are aligned to facilitate their comparison. For a reader, unfamiliar chunks can be related to more familiar chunks. Constant alignment of text and translation chunks occurs in many variable outputs, including bifocal formats and directly editable alignments. Thus, human edits and improvements input into the system can inform improving machine chunk translation. Both text and translation are editable within one single document, manageable in a wide variety of text editing environments, including common Textarea Input fields. Resulting chunk translations are easily printed on paper and / or displayed electronically. Language learners using the system may include humans and machines. Productions of aligned texts are customized for individual language learners.
