Abstract

System, method, and computer program product to autocorrect text for the purpose of matching words from an approved corpus, by: responsive to receiving a text input comprising a first word, validating the first word against a content corpus, wherein the content corpus comprises a plurality of words approved for display in an online chat, validating the first word against a set of rules, and upon determining that the first word of the text input is not validated against at least one of the content corpus and the set of rules, modifying the text input by replacing the first word with a first approved word from the content corpus.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

responsive to receiving a text input comprising a first word;

validating the first word against a content corpus, wherein the content corpus comprises a plurality of words approved for display in an online chat room, wherein a restricted word that is not in the content corpus is restricted from display in the online chat room;

validating the first word against a set of rules; and

upon determining, by operation of one or more computer processors, that the first word of the text input is not validated against at least one of the content corpus and the set of rules;

modifying the text input by replacing the first word with a first approved word from the content corpus;

receiving input specifying to submit the modified text input; and

outputting the modified text input for display in the online chat room.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

providing a visual effect on the first approved word indicating the replacement; and

upon determining that the first word is validated against the content corpus and the set of rules;

proposing, by operation of one or more computer processors, at least a second word from the content corpus, based on the first word, as a next word of the text input.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

responsive to receiving selection of the first approved word;

displaying the first word, the first approved word, and a second word from the content corpus; and

upon receiving selection of one of the first word, the first approved word, and the second word;

replacing the first approved word with the selected one of the first word, the first approved word, and the second word; and

providing a visual effect on the selected one of the first word, the first approved word, and the second word.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

upon determining that the first word of the text input is not validated against at least one of the content corpus and the set of rules, disabling a submit button configured to display the text input in the online chat room, wherein disabling the submit button restricts display of the text input in the online chat room.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein disabling the submit button further comprises:

replacing the submit button with a selectable element configured to;

accept the first approved word as the replacement to the first word; and

submit the modified text input to the online chat room for display.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the first word is not validated against the content corpus when the first word is not included in the content corpus, wherein the content corpus comprises a closed corpus of words approved for display in the online chat room, wherein the restricted word is part of a restricted corpus of words restricted from display in the online chat room.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the set of rules comprises a plurality of rules related to an impermissible combination of words, wherein the first word is not validated against the set of rules when the first word violates a first rule, of the plurality of rules.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the first word is a most recent word entered as part of the text input.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the text input further comprises a second word, the method further comprising:

determining that the first approved word and the second word create a phrase that violates a first rule, of the set of rules; and

modifying the text input by replacing at least one of the first approved word and the second word with a second approved word from the content corpus.

10. A computer program product, the computer program product comprising:

a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code executable by a processor to perform an operation comprising;

responsive to receiving a text input comprising a first word;

validating the first word against a content corpus, wherein the content corpus comprises a plurality of words approved for display in an online chat room, wherein a restricted word that is not in the content corpus is restricted from display in the online chat room;

validating the first word against a set of rules; and

upon determining that the first word of the text input is not validated against at least one of the content corpus and the set of rules;

modifying the text input by replacing the first word with a first approved word from the content corpus;

receiving input specifying to submit the modified text input; and

outputting the modified text input for display in the online chat room.

11. The computer program product of claim 10, the operation further comprising:

providing a visual effect on the first approved word indicating the replacement; and

upon determining that the first word is validated against the content corpus and the set of rules;

proposing at least a second word from the content corpus, based on the first word, as a next word of the text input.

12. The computer program product of claim 10, the operation further comprising:

computer-readable program code configured to, responsive to receiving selection of the first approved word;

display the first word, the first approved word, and a second word from the content corpus; and

upon receiving selection of one of the first word, the first approved word, and the second word;

replace the first approved word with the selected one of the first word, the first approved word, and the second word; and

provide a visual effect on the selected one of the first word, the first approved word, and the second word.

13. The computer program product of claim 10, further comprising:

computer-readable program code configured to, upon determining that the first word of the text input is not validated against at least one of the content corpus and the set of rules, disable a submit button configured to display the text input in the online chat room, wherein disabling the submit button restricts display of the text input in the online chat room.

14. The computer program product of claim 13, wherein disabling the submit button further comprises:

replacing the submit button with a selectable element configured to;

accept the first approved word as the replacement to the first word; and

submit the modified text input to the online chat room for display.

15. The computer program product of claim 10, wherein the first word is not validated against the content corpus when the first word is not included in the content corpus, wherein the content corpus comprises a closed corpus of words approved for display in the online chat room, wherein the restricted word is part of a restricted corpus of words restricted from display in the online chat room.

16. The computer program product of claim 10, wherein the set of rules comprises a plurality of rules related to an impermissible combination of words, wherein the first word is not validated against the set of rules when the first word violates a first rule, of the plurality of rules.

17. The computer program product of claim 10, wherein the first word is a most recent word entered as part of the text input.

18. A system, comprising:
