Abstract

Systems and methods related to providing error correction in a text caption are disclosed. A method may comprise displaying a text caption including one or more blocks of text on each of a first device and a second device remote from the first device. The method may also include generating another block of text and replacing a block of text of the text caption with the another block of text. Furthermore, the method may include displaying the text caption on the second device having the block of text of the first text caption replaced by the another block of text.

Claims

1. A method of providing error correction in a text caption, comprising;

displaying a text caption including one or more blocks of text on each of a first device and a second device remote from the first device;

generating another block of text;

replacing a block of text of the text caption with the another block of text; and

displaying the text caption on the second device having the block of text of the text caption replaced by the another block of text.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising identifying one or more errors within the block of text of the text caption prior to generating the another block of text.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein generating another block of text comprises generating another block of text with the first device.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein generating another block of text comprises identifying one or more errors within the block of text of the text caption and generating the another block of text including the block of text of the text caption wherein each of the one or more errors are replaced with corrected text.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising tagging the corrected text within the text caption.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein tagging the corrected text comprises highlighting the correct text within the text caption.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting the another block of text to the second device.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein replacing a block of text of the text caption comprises replacing a block of text of the text caption including one or more errors with the another block of text including corrected words.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating the text caption including one or more blocks of text on the first device and transmitting the one or more blocks of text to the second device.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising replacing a block of text of the first text caption with the another block of text and displaying the text caption on the second device having the block of text of the first text caption replaced by the another block of text substantially simultaneously.

11. A communication system, comprising:

a plurality of devices, wherein each device of the plurality includes a processor and a computer-readable medium coupled to the processor; and

a plurality of application programs, each application program stored in an associated computer-readable medium, wherein one or more application programs, when executed by the processors, are configured to;

display a text caption including one or more blocks of text on a display device of each of a first device of the plurality of devices and a second device of the plurality of devices;

generate another block of text;

replace one block of text of the text caption with the another block of text; and

display the text caption on the display device of the second device, wherein the one block of text of the text caption is replaced by the another block of text.

12. The communication system of claim 11, wherein one or more application programs are further configured to tag at least one word within the text caption as a corrected word after the one block of text of the text caption is replaced with the another block of text.

13. The communication system of claim 11, wherein one or more application programs are further configured to display at least one word within the text caption having the at least one block of text of the text caption replaced by the another block of text as highlighted.

14. The communication system of claim 11, wherein a highlighted word is indicative of a corrected word.

15. The communication system of claim 11, wherein one or more application programs are further configured to replace at least one block of text of the text caption with the another block of text and display the text caption on the display device of the second device substantially simultaneously.

16. A computer-readable media storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform instructions for providing error correction in a text caption, the instructions comprising:

displaying a text caption including one or more blocks of text on each of a first device and a second device;

generating another block of text;

replacing one block of text of the text caption with the another block of text; and

displaying the text caption on the second device, wherein the one block of text of the text caption is replaced by the another block of text.

17. The computer-readable media storage medium of claim 16, wherein generating another block of text comprises generating another block of text and identifying at least one word within the another block of text with a tag.

18. The computer-readable media storage medium of claim 17, wherein identifying at least one word within the another block of text with a tag comprises highlighting the at least one word.

19. The computer-readable media storage medium of claim 16, wherein displaying the text caption on the second device comprises displaying as highlighted one or more words within the text caption on the second device.

20. The computer-readable media storage medium of claim 16, wherein generating a another block of text comprises generating the another block of text on the first device and transmitting the another block of text to the second device.
