  • Publication number: 20230386358
    Abstract: A reading device for helping to learn to read comprises a body (2) have an elongated through opening forming a reading window (3). The window (3) is sized and shaped to enable at least a part of a single row of reading text to be displayed in the window (3). A panel (4) is moveably mounted on the body (2) so as to be longitudinally movable relative to the body (2) so as to variably overlap the window (3) from one side in order to restrict the width of the window (3) and thereby obscure some of the text aligned with the window (3).

  • Publication number: 20230350947
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system are provided for automatically creating task content. The method includes receiving a video file with an associated transcript of audio associated with the video file and identifying task action terms in the transcript. For each task action term, the method includes: locating a visual section of the video file corresponding to the task action term; capturing at least a portion of the visual section of the video file; and using image recognition for identifying information relating to one or more interface elements that are being interacted with in the visual section. The method includes generating a task instruction document including the task action terms augmented with interface element information and with at least a portion of the captured visual section.

  • Publication number: 20230315980
    Abstract: Computer technology for content association in file editing. The method includes providing one or more files including a first element currently being edited and including at least one other element of a different format to the first element. The method analyzes changes to the first element to obtain information relating to the changes and analyzing the contents of at least one other element. The method identifies any of the other elements that are correlated elements to the first element by determining an association between the contents of the other element and the changes of the first element and instigates a corresponding change to the contents of any correlated elements.

  • Patent number: 11775695
    Abstract: A system may be used to redact an image to be displayed by a display device. By intercepting a signal before an image of the signal is displayed on a display device, the display of confidential, sensitive and inappropriate information may be suppressed. More specifically, the image of the signal is analyzed using a content recognition algorithm to identify items of content, which may be redacted by modifying the signal. Using this concept, the image may be redacted by the display device, or by a port or adapter between a signal generator and the display device, without relying on redaction software local to the signal generation system.
