Disability-related information of a user of a computing device can be acquired, the computing device can present a scene with user interface elements to the user. An accessibility requirement of the user can be identified based on the acquired disability-related information of the user. A processing routine can be determined from a plurality of processing routines stored in a routine library based on the accessibility requirement of the user. One or more of the user interface elements of the scene can be modified using the determined processing routine. The scene with the modified one or more of the user interface elements can be presented to the user through the computing device.

Enhancing accessibility for individuals with disabilities

A computer-implemented method for generating personalized audio data is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes receiving user input data, wherein the user input data is at least one of text or audio. The computer-implemented method further includes segmenting the user input data into a set of sentences. The computer-implemented method further includes generating, for each sentence in the set of sentences, a voice image, wherein the voice image includes at least one pronunciation tag and wave line associated with a sentence. The computer-implemented method further includes modifying the user input data based, at least in part on, the wave line and pronunciation tag of the voice image.

Speech-to-text voice visualization

A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: receiving copies of notes that were originally recorded by participants, the notes corresponding to a source document. Note fragments in the received copies of notes are identified and one or more machine learning models are used to compare the identified note fragments to pages and paragraphs in the source document that the respective note fragments are located in. Based at least in part on the comparison, the identified note fragments are merged with a copy of the source document to form a pseudo-source document. Furthermore, the pseudo-source document is output.

Merging supplemental information with the content of source material

A method for selecting an application and associated operational guidance to utilize on a mobile device is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method identifies a selected environment of interest. Within the selected environment, the method identifies one or more applications that are commonly utilized by users within the selected environment and documents the one or more applications. The method detects physical entry of a particular user into the selected environment and, in response to detecting the entry, automatically notifies the particular user of the one or more applications that are commonly utilized within the selected environment. In certain embodiments, the method enables the user to quickly launch the one or more applications and/or provides operational guidance to the user with regard to using the one or more applications. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

Environment- and preference-based application and operation guidance selection

A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for improving understandability of text by a user. A final word vector for each word in a sentence of a document is computed, such as by averaging a first word vector and a second word vector for that word. Furthermore, elements of a user portrait are vectorized. A distance is then computed between a vector for each word in the sentence and a vectorized element in the user's portrait which is summed to form an evaluation result for the element. An evaluation result is also formed for every other element in the user's portrait by performing such a computation step. A 'final evaluation result' is then generated corresponding to the evaluation results for every element in the user's portrait. The document is then transformed in response to the final evaluation result indicating a lack of understanding of the sentence by the user.

Identifying and transforming text difficult to understand by user

Examples described herein provide a computer-implemented method for multi-user debugging of a program. The method includes receiving a first request from a first developer to initiate a debug of the program and receiving a second request from a second developer to initiate the debug of the program. The method further includes, responsive to receiving the first request and the second request, initiating the debug of the program. The method further includes sending first source code for the program to the first developer, wherein the first source code is associated with the first developer. The method further includes sending second source code for the program to the second developer, wherein the second source code is associated with the second developer. The method further includes updating the program responsive to receiving a change to at least one of the first source code or the second source code.

Multi-user debugging with user data isolation

Source code of a golden version and a next version of a program is received in which procedure calls are modified to call from an entry point table (EPT) with index numbers corresponding to procedure memory addresses. An executable defect-free golden version program and next version program with a defect are received. A first entry point table (first EPT) for the new version program and a second EPT for the golden version program are generated. A series of substitutions of procedures from the second EPT to the first EPT is performed and an order of substitutions includes: a module set, a module of the module set, a procedure set of the module, and a procedure of the procedure set. The defect producing procedure is identified by substituting in order until the defect is absent and proceeding to the next substitution in order.

Efficient defect location in new code versions

Embodiments of the invention are directed to synchronous multi-point update of associated text. Aspects include receiving, from a user, a request to associate a first text with one or more other instances of the first text and looking up the first text in a text association table. Based on determining that no entry in the text association table corresponds to the first text, aspects include creating an entry in the text association table corresponding to the first text. Aspects also include adding an address of the first text to the entry in the text association table. Based on detecting a change to one of the first text and one of the one or more other instances of the first text, aspects further include updating the first text and each of the one or more other instances of the first text that was not changed.

Multi-text interconnection

Provided is a method for determining data storage is insufficient for a program. A processor may receive a set of marked data associated with a set of source code. The processor may identify a scope of the code associated with the marked data. The processor may generate a first set of instructions for taking a first snapshot of a variable storage space associated with the marked data when entering the scope and a second snapshot of the variable storage space when exiting the scope. The processor may generate a second set of instructions for comparing the first and second snapshots to determine a usage amount of the variable storage. The processor may generate a third set of instructions for performing an action in response to the usage amount of the variable storage space exceeding a threshold. The processor may compile the code into an executable.
