Abstract
Converting an incoming phonetically-coded string representing an East Asian language into its proper text characters. Conversion is triggered when dynamic IME analysis of the string indicates a threshold probability of correct conversion. Conversion of unconverted phonetic text is also triggered when the user relocates the insertion point. The user may select portions of text affected by conversion error and access a corresponding editable phonetic string and a prioritized list of alternate conversions for that string. The corresponding phonetic string is generated from the selected text if the original input string is unavailable.
