    Abstract: A method of automatically converting alphabetic text written in a text based language into a non-text based language. The method can include parsing the text to identify at least one word. The method also can include via a processor, identifying within a lexicon database data corresponding to the word, wherein the data corresponding to the word identifies at least one pictograph or symbol selected from a group of pictographs or symbols consisting of between twenty seven and thirty three distinct pictographs or symbols that visually look different than the text, wherein each pictograph or symbol corresponds to a unique speech sound of the text based language. The pictograph or symbol can be rendered in a view.

  • Publication number: 20080082335
    Abstract: A method and a system for automatically converting alphabetic words into a plurality of independent spellings. The method can include parsing textual input to identify at least one word and converting the word into a first word object having a first spelling including letter objects. The method also can include converting the word into a second word object having a second spelling including phonetic objects, each of the phonetic objects correlating to at least one of the letter objects. Further, the first word object and the second word object can be presented in a visual field such that each of the phonetic objects is visually associated with the letter object to which it correlates.
