  • Patent number: 11537789
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processing operations configured to provide, through an adapted user interface of an application/service, seamless application of autocorrection for an electronic document and provision of review insights into the autocorrections. In addition to applying autocorrections, processing described herein selectively determines when to apply an autocorrection (e.g., while a user is entering an input or after) and further highlights autocorrections, through a user interface, in a manner that instantly lets a user know that an autocorrection has occurred and/or what type of autocorrection is being applied.

  • Patent number: 11029819
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods that are configured to semi-automate data transformation processing so that content can be transformed, from one type of electronic document, for presentation in another type of electronic document. For instance, data transformation suggestions, for transforming content from a first form into a presentation form (second form), may be generated and presented to a user through an improved user interface of an application/service that is used to display the first form of the content. The improved user interface provides a new user interface menu to manage the data transformation suggestions and/or export/import processing of data from one type of electronic document to another. Based on user selection of the confirming data transformation suggestions through the user interface menu, a presentation document is automatically generated on behalf of the user, for example, in a different application/service.

  • Patent number: 8612206
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system and method of transliterating Semitic languages with support for diacritics. An input module receives and pre-processes Romanized character and forwards the pre-processed Romanized characters to a transliteration engine. The transliteration engine selects candidate transliteration rules, applies the rules, and scores and ranks the results for output. To optimize search for candidate transliteration rules, the transliteration engine may apply word-stemming strategies to process inflections indicated by affixes. The present disclosure further describes optimizations as pre-processing emphasis text, caching, dynamic transliteration rule pruning, and buffering/throttling input. The system and methods are suitable for multiple applications including but not limited to web applications, windows applications, client-server applications and input method editors such as those via Microsoft Text Services Framework TSF™.
