Analysing character strings
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for analyzing a character string, the method comprising:
- analyzing a character string to determine one of more characters of the character string;
determining from a dictionary source, an alternative character string to the analyzed character string;
comparing the analyzed character string with the alternative character string to determine a weighting factor for each of the characters of the analyzed character string relative to a positional arrangement of the characters in the alternative character string; and
for each determined weighting factor, generating for each character in the analyzed character string a corresponding character of a particular font size as determined by the weighting factor, the generating including modifying the font size of the corresponding character based on the weighting factor.

Abstract
A method for analyzing a character string, the method including: analyzing a character string to determine one of more characters of the character string; determining from a dictionary source, an alternative character string to the analyzed character string; comparing the analyzed character string with the alternative character string to determine a weighting factor for each of the characters of the analyzed character string relative to the positional arrangement of the characters in the alternative character string; and for each determined weighting factor, generating for each of the characters in the analyzed character string a corresponding character of a particular size as determined by the weighting factor.
