CONTEXT SENSITIVE, ERROR CORRECTION OF SHORT TEXT MESSAGES

摘要

A method for correcting a short text message comprising the steps of: creating a table of common words and misspellings; identifying keypad used for sending the message, examining message for comprehensibility; identifying most likely error, substituting symbols based on a hierarchical system of shared keys followed by adjacent keys to hypothesize correction of the most likely error; examining hypothesized correction for comprehensibility, and repeating steps (c) to (f) until an understandable message is generated.
