Abstract
For determining homonyms of logogram input, code may recognize a logogram from at least part of a written logogram drawn by a user or a typed logogram. In addition, the code may determine whether homonyms of the logogram are to be made available to the user. The code also may determine multiple logograms having a pronunciation that matches the pronunciation of the logogram if the homonyms of the logogram are to be made available to the user. The code may provide a hint list to the user that contains the multiple logograms to enable selection of a logogram from the hint list. The code may also rank the multiple logograms based on context.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory that stores code executable by the processor, the code comprising:
- code that recognizes a logogram from at least part of a written logogram drawn by a user or a typed logogram;
- code that determines whether homonyms of the logogram are to be made available to the user;
- and
- code that determines a plurality of logograms having a pronunciation that matches the pronunciation of the logogram if the homonyms of the logogram are to be made available to the user.
A method comprising:
- recognizing, by use of a processor, a logogram from at least part of a written logogram drawn by a user or a typed logogram;
- determining whether homonyms of the logogram are to be made available to the user;
- and
- determining a plurality of logograms having a pronunciation that matches the pronunciation of the logogram if the homonyms of the logogram are to be made available to the user.
A program product comprising a computer readable storage medium that stores code executable by a processor, the executable code comprising code to perform:
- recognizing a logogram from at least part of a written logogram drawn by a user or a typed logogram;
- determining whether homonyms of the logogram are to be made available to the user;
- and
- determining a plurality of logograms having a pronunciation that matches the pronunciation of the logogram if the homonyms of the logogram are to be made available to the user.
