Publication number: 20170293678Abstract: Disclosed herein is an adaptive redo technology for trace text input via a virtual keyboard, including systems and methods for adaptively modifying the top word suggestion after a user deletes a word and traces a pattern recognized as the same word. An adaptive redo system can recognize that the user has just rejected the default word it is about to present, and instead present an alternative candidate. As a result, the user can proceed without having to re-delete the same rejected word a second time. A text input system with adaptive redo can recognize when a redo trace matches a previous, deleted trace without needing to check the similarity of traces themselves or the similarity of any features of a trace path, reducing the computational requirements needed to improve text recognition after a user deletes and reenters a word.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2016Publication date: October 12, 2017Inventors: Donni McCray, Brian Yee

Publication number: 20160224524Abstract: A system and method that learns phrases from scratch based on capturing text entered on electronic devices by a user along with context for the captured text. The system constructs phrase resources based on analysis of the user's phrase usage in various contexts. By identifying similar or matching contexts for phrases employed by the user, the system dramatically improves the ability to predict phrases intended by the user. The disclosed system provides context-based text input that uses phrases previously entered by the user in similar contexts to provide meaningful phrase suggestions, as well as phrase completion suggestions taking into account previously entered text. In some implementations, the system utilizes linguistic models based on conditional probabilities to identify and/or rank suggested phrases for the relevant context.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2015Publication date: August 4, 2016Inventors: David J.
