Abstract

Various types of content can be displayed through an interface of a computing device. Portions of this content, such as words or alphanumeric characters, can have a visual identifier displayed proximate those portions. The identifiers can indicate the availability of additional content, such as one or more alternative spellings or corrections, links to additional information, alternative views, and links to contact information for a name in an address book. In one example, a default viewing orientation of the computing device can be determined for a user viewing the content on the interface. Upon detecting a rotation of the computing device, a banner or other graphical element is displayed for each of the displayed portions that are associated with a visual identifier on the interface. Accordingly, a user can select one of those elements to receive the additional information.
