Techniques for customization of phonetic schemes
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method at a computing device for creating and using phonetic schemes, the method comprising:
- receiving input to create a phonetic scheme, the phonetic scheme comprising one or more phonetic character combinations in a source language and one or more native characters in a destination language for each of the phonetic character combinations;
receiving a phonetic character combination in the source language;
translating the phonetic character combination into one or more native characters in the destination language using the phonetic scheme, the phonetic character combination being translated by a phonetic input application executed by a processor of the computing device; and
displaying a selectable list of suggestions of one or more native characters in the destination language, the suggestions including the one or more native characters in the destination language, a plurality of phonetic equivalents to the phonetic character combination based on the phonetic scheme, and a plurality of sound-alike equivalents to the one or more native characters in the destination language.

Abstract
Creating and using phonetic schemes is described. A phonetic scheme creation feature is provided to allow a user to create a phonetic scheme that has one or more available phonetic character combinations in a source language and a resulting one or more native characters in a destination language for each of the phonetic character combinations. A phonetic input application is provided that can read the phonetic scheme to translate a respective character combination that is input by the user in the source language into the corresponding resulting native characters in the destination language. The phonetic scheme can be stored in a format that can be transferred to another computer. A dynamic help file can be created to document the phonetic scheme created by the user.

9. A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that are executable and, responsive to executing the instructions, a computer:
-
receives input to create a phonetic scheme, the phonetic scheme comprising one or more phonetic character combinations in a source language and one or more native characters in a destination language for each of the phonetic character combinations; stores the phonetic scheme in a format that can be transferred to another computer; translates a phonetic character combination into one or more native characters in the destination language using the phonetic scheme, the phonetic character combination being translated by a phonetic input application executed by the computer; and displays a selectable list of suggestions of one or more native characters in the destination language, the suggestions including the one or more native characters in the destination language, a plurality of phonetic equivalents to the phonetic character combination based on the phonetic scheme, and a plurality of sound-alike equivalents to the one or more native characters in the destination language. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer implemented method at a computing device for creating and documenting phonetic schemes, the method comprising:
-
receiving input to create a phonetic scheme, the phonetic scheme comprising one or more available phonetic character combinations in a source language and one or more native characters in a destination language for each of the phonetic character combinations; and receiving input to create a dynamic help file to document the phonetic scheme; translating a phonetic character combination into the one or more native characters in the destination language using the phonetic scheme, the phonetic character combination being translated by a phonetic input application executed by a processor of the computing device; and displaying a selectable list of suggestions of the one or more native characters in the destination language, the suggestions including the one or more native characters in the destination language, a plurality of phonetic equivalents to the phonetic character combination based on the phonetic scheme, and a plurality of sound-alike equivalents to the one or more native characters in the destination language.
