摘要： A computer-implemented method for providing a candidate list of alternatives for a text selection containing text from multiple input sources, each of which can be stochastic (such as a speech recognition unit, handwriting recognition unit, or input method editor) or non-stochastic (such as a keyboard and mouse). A text component of the text selection may be the result of data processed through a series of stochastic input sources, such as speech input that is converted to text by a speech recognition unit before being used as input into an input method editor. To determine alternatives for the text selection, a stochastic input combiner parses the text selection into text components from different input sources. For each stochastic text component, the combiner retrieves a stochastic model containing alternatives for the text component. If the stochastic text component is the result of a series of stochastic input sources, the combiner derives a stochastic model that accurately reflects the probabilities of the results of the entire series. The combiner creates a list of alternatives for the text selection by combining the stochastic models retrieved. The combiner may revise the list of alternatives by applying natural language principles to the text selection as a whole. The list of alternatives for the text selection is then presented to the user. If the user chooses one of the alternatives, then the word processor replaces the text selection with the chosen candidate.

摘要： A document management system and method are provided to support simultaneous multi-user editing of a single document. The system and method do not require the use of a new file format or the use of a central document repository to limit user access to the document. When a user attempts to open the document and a determination is made that the document is in use, then an alert is presented to the user that informs the user that the document is locked for editing. The user may select to receive a notification when the original document is no longer in use. If the user selects to make a local copy and subsequently merge the changes, the local copy will be made and the path of the original document will be stored so that the original document location can be determined at the time that the changes are merged. When the original document becomes available, the user's changes can be merged into the original document. The original document is located using the original path that was stored when the local copy was created. Of course, any time that a merge is attempted, and a conflict exists (i.e., the changes in the local document are inconsistent with the changes made to the original document), an alert can be generated to inform the user of the conflict and the user can be prompted to reconcile the conflict to complete the merge.

摘要： A multi-source input and playback utility that accepts inputs from various sources, transcribes the inputs as text, and plays aloud user-selected portions of the text is disclosed. The user may select a portion of the text and request audio playback thereof. The utility examines each transcribed word in the selected text. If stored audio data is associated with a given word, that audio data is retrieved and played. If no audio data is associated, then a textto-speech entry or series of entries is retrieved and played instead.

摘要： A background audio recovery system displays an inactive status indicator for a speech recognition program module in an application program. To prevent losses of dictated speech when a speech recognition program module is inadvertently assigned to an inactive mode, the background audio recovery system determines whether an audio input device is receiving audio. If audio is being received by the audio input device, the background audio recovery system stores the audio data for later retrieval by the user. When a user issues a command to activate the speech recognition program module, the background audio recovery system initiates a background audio program module for manipulating the stored audio data that was recorded while the speech recognition program module was assigned to an inactive mode.

摘要： In some embodiments, technical problems relating to maintaining programmed behavior in tabular data cells are overcome by automatically generating and inserting formulas in interrelated cells. This may be done by reference to declarations of formulas (as by example in a formula table overlay on the sheet design or template, or in a formula editor using defined cell and column locations or defined variables), along with rules defining the order of precedence for assertion in reference to available cell data. In some embodiments, evaluation sequences or priorities may be automatically determined, and/or may be configurable by establishing precedence rules in a master row or hidden row. Some embodiments can determine, in some systems of formulas, where user entries in cells do not match the expected values for the cell, and explain why another result is correct or what is the expected type of entry or value for the cell.
