Bi-directional text contraction and expansion

Abstract

The technology is directed to bi-directional text contraction and expansion. In some embodiments, a defined field is determined based on a focus location and the focus location is associated with a location of the defined field in a user interface. Expanded text associated with the defined field is determined, and the expanded text is contracted based on a first context of at least one part of the expanded text. Modified contracted text is received, and the modified contracted text is associated with the defined field.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to computer-based methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for bidirectional text contraction and expansion. Background technique [0002] In operating systems for computer program products, screen readers have made themselves a ubiquitous part of the operating system (OS). In some operating systems, screen readers intercept window messages for all applications and intercept all text and graphics written to the screen by redirecting display driver calls to the screen reader. These interceptions and / or OS-specific accessibility interfaces / application-specific object models allow screen readers to output speech and Braille from applications without the direct cooperation of these applications. Screen readers present information verbally by utilizing a text-to-speech engine and, in Braille, via a single-line refreshable Braille display. Braille display models have line lengths ranging between 20...
