Handwriting and voice input with automatic correction
TLDR
In this paper, a hybrid approach to improve handwriting recognition and voice recognition in data process systems is described, where a front end is used to recognize strokes, characters and/or phonemes.Abstract:
A hybrid approach to improve handwriting recognition and voice recognition in data process systems is disclosed. In one embodiment, a front end is used to recognize strokes, characters and/or phonemes. The front end returns candidates with relative or absolute probabilities of matching to the input. Based on linguistic characteristics of the language, e.g. alphabetical or ideographic language for the words being entered, e.g. frequency of words and phrases being used, likely part of speech of the word entered, the morphology of the language, or the context in which the word is entered), a back end combines the candidates determined by the front end from inputs for words to match with known words and the probabilities of the use of such words in the current context.read more

Using context information to facilitate processing of commands in a virtual assistant
TL;DR: In this article, a virtual assistant uses context information to supplement natural language or gestural input from a user, which helps to clarify the user's intent and reduce the number of candidate interpretations of user's input, and reduces the need for the user to provide excessive clarification input.

Electronic Devices with Voice Command and Contextual Data Processing Capabilities
TL;DR: In this paper, an electronic device may capture a voice command from a user and store contextual information about the state of the electronic device when the voice command is received, such as a desktop computer or a remote server.

Automatically adapting user interfaces for hands-free interaction
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a method for automatically determining whether a digital assistant application has been separately invoked by a user without regard to whether a user has separately invoked the application.

Reduced keyboard disambiguating system
TL;DR: In this paper, a reduced keyboard disambiguating system was proposed for ambiguous keystroke sequences, in which a keystroke sequence could match a number of words with the same number of letters.
Patent
Keyboard system with automatic correction
TL;DR: In this article, an enhanced text entry system using word-level analysis to automatically correct inaccuracies in user keystroke entries on reduced keyboards was proposed, where the actual contact locations for the keystrokes may occur outside the boundaries of the specific keyboard key regions, and the distance from each contact location to each corresponding intended character may in general increase with the expected frequency of the intended word in the language or in a particular context.
Patent
Contextual prediction of user words and user actions
TL;DR: An operating sequence for a handheld computing device manages the device to automatically detect cues describing the device's environmental and user actions performed with the device, learn which cues and cue combinations are relevant to predict user actions, and then in response to occurrence of the relevant cues, predictively implementing the appropriate user action or configuring the device in anticipation of user action as mentioned in this paper.
Patent
Disambiguating system for disambiguating ambiguous input sequences by displaying objects associated with the generated input sequences in the order of decreasing frequency of use
TL;DR: In this article, a reduced keyboard disambiguation system was proposed, where the user strikes a delimiting "Select" key at the end of each word, delimiting a keystroke sequence that could match any of many words with the same number of letters.

Text completion system for a miniature computer
John W. Miller,Jossef Goldberg +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a text completion system that automatically displays a list of completion suggestions for a partial data entry in response to a pause in receipt of the data entry is presented, where the completion suggestions are positioned in the list based on a computed indication of likelihood of being correct.
