Systems and methods for semantic stenography

Abstract

A method and apparatus convert input data, such as short notes, into a global text implementation to provide semantically consistent and grammatical text. In various exemplary embodiments, a user enters a short note into a computer system, and the computer system associates a partial textual realization with the short note. The user can then select an appropriate partial text implementation, which can be converted to a semantically consistent and grammatical text or a global text implementation.
