A method and system for harvesting collaboration data in accordance with a privacy policy is provided. In one embodiment, the method comprises defining a privacy policy for collaboration data, said privacy policy including a list of fields associated with the collaboration data to be harvested; harvesting the collaboration data associated with the fields specified as allowable under the privacy policy; transforming the collaboration data associated with the fields specified as allowable if said collaboration data can be transformed in accordance with a set of rules defined in the privacy policy; and storing the harvested collaboration data in a database.

A voice tagging system includes a client computing device that includes a media object capture device and a voice capture device and runs a client application that associates media objects to voice samples. The system also includes a communications network coupled to the client computing device, a voice tagging system coupled to the communications network and receiving at least one association between a first media object and a first voice sample, and a database coupled to the voice tagging system, the database including one or more voice tags, each voice tag being coupled to one or more voice samples.

A computer dynamic cylindrical display provides a natural scrolling capability, giving the appearance of a much larger display in a very small size. The display encloses the electronics of the device and contains a simple weighted cam that senses roll (using rotation sensor much like in a mouse). When the cylinder is placed on a flat surface and rolled up and down, the pixel display scrolls in correspondence with the rolling movement, giving the visual feel of rolling a cylindrical magnifying glass across a finely printed document. A &ldquo;snap-to&rdquo; scrolling algorithm makes it easier for the user to stop right on the center of a line of text. Parallax algorithms compensate for the cylindrically wrapped text making it appear flatter. Twisting the cap adjusts the angle of presentation for when the user is not looking straight down onto the display. A touch sensitive overlay allows the user to select menu items or hypertext links as the display &ldquo;rolls over&rdquo; that line of text. The display also works without a flat surface (although not as naturally) by turning it while holding it in the air.

A continuous speech recognition system has the ability to correct errors in strings of words. The error correction method stores data in the system's internal state to update probability tables used in developing alternative lists for substitution in misrecognized text.
