Abstract: Systems and processes for predictive conversion of language input are provided. In one example process, text composed by a user can be obtained. Input comprising a sequence of symbols of a first symbolic system can be received from the user. Candidate word strings corresponding to the sequence of symbols can be determined. Each candidate word string can comprise two or more words of a second symbolic system. The candidate word strings can be ranked based on a probability of occurrence of each candidate word string in the obtained text. Based on the ranking, a portion of the candidate word strings can be displayed for selection by the user.

Abstract: Disambiguating multiple readings in language conversion is disclosed, including: receiving an input data to be converted into a set of characters comprising a symbolic representation of the input data in a target symbolic system; and using a language model that distinguishes between a first reading and a second reading of a character of the target symbolic system to determine a probability that the heteronymous character should be used to represent a corresponding portion of the input data.

Abstract: Using a statistical language model to make information related to a word or other content of interest available is disclosed. An indication that a word or phrase is of interest is received. A contextual meta-information associated with the word or phrase of interest as used in context is used to make information related to the word or phrase of interest available, for example, by forming a more precise query and/or filtering search results based on the contextual meta-information.

Abstract: Techniques to automatically correct or complete text are disclosed. An entered text and a context data indicating a context in which the entered text is used are received. Examples of context data include additional words and/or a phrase or sentence in which the entered text occurs. A replacement candidate to replace the entered text is determined based on the entered text and the context data.
