  • Patent number: 8504349
    Abstract: A computing system may predict a word based on received user input that selects a part of the word (e.g., the first characters, the first root, etc.). Specifically, a program, when run on the computing system, may perform a method including creating a candidate list of words based on received user input. These words may be then organized into a hierarchy, or tree structure, in which each word is associated with a parent and each parent is a partial match for its associated words. The top-tier partial matches may be presented, and user input corresponding to a selected partial match may be received. A set of candidates related to the selected partial match may then be presented for user selection.

  • Publication number: 20060200338
    Abstract: The present invention provides a lexicon development tool which allows an author to first define templates which define morphological properties of a class of words and then assign words in an input word list to correct templates. The present invention can be used to automatically match a template to an input word or the words can be matched to templates manually. In addition, the present invention can provide a wide variety of different processing components to sort or otherwise process an input word list and to test and export a lexicon, once it has been authored. The tool can provide an authoring environment to describe the lexical data of a wide variety of languages.
