Abstract
An embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at an input device, user input having a string of characters; determining, using a processor, one or more potential errors in the string of characters; identifying, using a processor, a character location of a highest ranked error of the one or more potential errors within the string of characters; and positioning, on a display, a visual indication associated with the location of the highest ranked error within the string of characters. Other aspects are described and claimed.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at an input device, user input having a string of characters;
- determining, using a processor, one or more potential errors in the string of characters;
- identifying, using a processor, a character location of a highest ranked error of the one or more potential errors within the string of characters;
- and
- positioning, on a display, a visual indication associated with the character location of the highest ranked error within the string of characters.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a display;
- an input device;
- a processor operatively coupled to the input device and the display;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that are executable by the processor to:
- receive, at the input device, user input having a string of characters;
- determine one or more potential errors in the string of characters;
- identify a character location of a highest ranked error of the one or more potential errors within the string of characters;
- and
- position, on the display, a visual indication associated with the character location of the highest ranked error within the string of characters.
A product, comprising:
- a computer readable storage device storing code therewith, the code being executable by a processor and comprising:
- code that receives user input having a string of characters;
- code that determines one or more potential errors in the string of characters;
- code that identifies a character location of a highest ranked error of the one or more potential errors within the string of characters;
- and
- code that positions, on a display, a visual indication associated with the character location of the highest ranked error within the string of characters.
