  • Patent number: 11941345
    Abstract: A computer-implemented process is programmed to process a source input, determine text enhancements, and present the text enhancements to apply to the sentences dictated from the source input. A text processor may use machine-learning models to process an audio input to generate sentences in a presentable format. An audio input can be processed by an automatic speech recognition model to generate electronic text. The electronic text may be used to generate sentence structures using a normalization model. A comprehension model may be used to identify instructions associated with the sentence structures and generate sentences based on the instructions and the sentence structures. An enhancement model may be used to identify enhancements to apply to the sentences. The enhancements may be presented alongside sentences generated by the comprehension model to provide the user an option to select either the enhancements or the sentences.
