Abstract

A text based document comprising textual content is presented to a user. One or more potential errors in the textual content are identified and a visual indication of each of the potential errors is presented to the user. A pop-up pane for a first potential error of the one or more errors is presented, wherein the pop-up pane comprises one or more options for correcting the potential error. An input focus is maintained on the presented textual content to facilitate a user manually entering a correction in the presented textual content. If a user selection of one of the one or more options is received, the potential error is corrected in accordance with the option selected.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

presenting a text based document, comprising textual content;

identifying one or more potential errors in the textual content;

providing a visual indication of each of the one or more potential errors in the presented textual content;

presenting a pop-up pane for a first potential error of the one or more potential errors, wherein the pop-up pane comprises one or more options for correcting the first potential error;

maintaining an input focus on the presented textual content to facilitate a user manually entering a correction in the presented textual content; and

if a user selection of one of the one or more options in the pop-up pane is received, correcting the potential error in accordance with the selected option.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

presenting the pop-up pane for a next potential error of the one or more potential errors, wherein the pop-up pane comprises one or more options for correcting the next potential error; and

in response to the user selection of one of the one or more options, correcting the next potential error in accordance with the selected option.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein the presenting and correcting are continuously repeated until all potential errors in the textual content have been corrected or until a user action to interrupt error correction in the textual content is received.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the text based document is generated as a result of optical character recognition processing.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein a visual indication of each of the one or more errors in the presented textual content comprises at least one of highlighting or underlining the one or more potential errors.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein presenting a pop-up pane in association the first potential error of the one or more potential errors comprises:

presenting a text segment comprising the first error within a predefined zone of a display wherein the pop-up pane is located beneath the text segment and at a center of the text portion pertaining to the first error and wherein an input cursor is pointing to a first character of the text segment pertaining to the first potential error; and

providing a second visual indication of the text segment comprising the first error wherein the first error is contained entirely within the second visual indication.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein presenting a text based document comprising textual content comprises presenting the textual content in a text portion of a display and an image associated with the text based document in an image portion of the display.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more options for correcting the first error comprise at least one of an ignore option, an add option, a replace option, or a text input by the user.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the replace option comprises a list of recognized words from a dictionary of words, the list of recognized words being associated with the first error.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more options for correcting the first error are modified upon determining that the user has invoked a predefined command on an input device.

11. A computing apparatus comprising:

a memory to store instructions; and

a processing device, coupled to the memory, to;

present a text based document, comprising textual content;

identify one or more potential errors in the textual content;

provide a visual indication of each of the one or more potential errors in the presented textual content;

present a pop-up pane for a first potential error of the one or more potential errors, wherein the pop-up pane comprises one or more options for correcting the first potential error;

maintain an input focus on the presented textual content to facilitate a user manually entering a correction in the presented textual content; and

if a user selection of one of the one or more options in the pop-up pane is received, correct the potential error in accordance with the selected option.

12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein a visual indication of each of the one or more errors in the presented textual content comprises at least one of highlighting or underlining the one or more potential errors.

13. The apparatus of claim 11, the processing device to continuously present and correct until all potential errors in the textual content have been corrected or until a user action to interrupt error correction in the textual content is received.

14. The apparatus of claim 11 wherein the text based document is generated as a result of optical character recognition processing.

15. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein to present a pop-up pane in association the first potential error of the one or more potential errors, the processing device is to:

present a text segment comprising the first error within a predefined zone of a display wherein the pop-up pane is located beneath the text segment and at a center of the text segment pertaining to the first error and wherein an input cursor is pointing to a first character of the text segment pertaining to the first potential error; and

provide a second visual indication of the text segment comprising the first error wherein the first error is contained entirely within the second visual indication.

16. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein to present a text based document comprising textual content, the processing device is to present the textual content in a text portion of a display and an image associated with the text based document in an image portion of the display.

17. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the one or more options for correcting the first error comprise at least one of an ignore option, an add option, a replace option, or a text input by the user.

18. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the replace option comprises a list of recognized words from a dictionary of words associated with the first error.

19. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

presenting a text based document, comprising textual content;

identifying one or more potential errors in the textual content;

providing a visual indication of each of the one or more potential errors in the presented textual content;

presenting a pop-up pane for a first potential error of the one or more potential errors, wherein the pop-up pane comprises one or more options for correcting the first potential error;

maintaining an input focus on the presented textual content to facilitate a user manually entering a correction in the presented textual content; and

if a user selection of one of the one or more options in the pop-up pane is received, correcting the potential error in accordance with the selected option.

20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 19, wherein the operations further comprise:

presenting the pop-up pane for a next potential error of the one or more potential errors, wherein the pop-up pane comprises one or more options for correcting the next potential error; and

in response to the user selection of one of the one or more options, correcting the next potential error in accordance with the selected option.

21. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 20 wherein the presenting and correcting are continuously repeated until all potential errors in the textual content have been corrected or until a user action to interrupt error correction in the textual content is received.
