  "country": "US",
  "title": "How Phones Use Your Voice History to Fix Your Typing",
  "original_title": "Electronic device with text error correction based on voice recognition data",
  "summary": "Apple's patent for a system that improves text autocorrection by using a database of words the user has previously spoken into their device.",
  "what_it_does": "This patent describes a way to make autocorrect smarter by linking it to your voice history. When you speak into your phone, the device records those words in a database. Later, when you are typing a text or email, the autocorrection engine checks that database to see if you are likely to be typing a word you have said before. If you make a typo, the system uses your personal vocabulary to guess the correct word, rather than just relying on a generic dictionary. It performs this correction automatically as you type, often triggered by a space character.",
  "what_it_does_not_cover": [
    "Does not cover autocorrection systems that rely solely on static, pre-installed dictionaries.",
    "Does not cover voice-to-text transcription where the entire message is dictated rather than typed.",
    "Does not cover predictive text systems that only use typing history without incorporating voice input data.",
    "Does not cover hardware-specific keyboard designs or physical key mechanisms."

  "abstract": "During operation of an electronic device such as a cellular telephone with a touch screen display or other electronic equipment, a voice recognition engine may gather data on spoken words. Data on the spoken words that are recognized may be maintained in a spoken word database maintained by an input processor with an autocorrection engine. A user may supply text input that contains mistyped words to the electronic device using the touch screen or a keyboard. The input processor may use the autocorrection engine to automatically replace mistyped words with corrected versions of the mistyped words. The corrected words may be displayed in real time as the user supplies the text input. The autocorrection engine may make word correction decisions based at least partly on information in the spoken word database.",
