Abstract
Word recognition enables a user to have a selected transformation performed on a given word produced by word recognition. In one aspect of the invention, a selectable transformation changes the given word to a differently spelled word having the same word root. In another, a selectable transformation changes a given word to one or more of its homonyms. In yet another, a selectable transformation changes the given word between a representation that spells the word with letters and one that does not. In one aspect of the invention a user can select to display a choice list of transformed words corresponding to a given recognized word and then select to have one of the listed transformed words replace the given word. In another aspect of the invention word recognition favors recognition of words corresponding to a user selected part of speech.
