TLDR
For generating customized word assistance functions based on user information and context, a system, apparatus, method, and computer program product are disclosed in this paper, which includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor, including code that accesses personal information of a user, identifies a dialectal nuance of the user based on the personal information, and selects a word recognition dictionary based on dialectal nuances.Abstract:
For generating customized word assistance functions based on user information and context, a system, apparatus, method, and computer program product are disclosed. The apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor, including code that accesses personal information of a user, identifies a dialectal nuance of the user based on the personal information, and selects a word recognition dictionary based on the dialectal nuance. The dialectal nuance may be based on a location of the user, a nationality of the user, an age of the user, an education level of the user, and/or a profession of the user. The apparatus may also suggest one or more text entries from the selected word recognition dictionary based on the user input.read more
