Abstract: A recognition tool according to the invention intelligently recognizes natural input before it is passed to a destination or target application. More particularly, the recognition tool according to the invention provides better formatting for text recognized from natural input, based upon the context in which the text is being inserted into a target application. The recognition tool also provides various tools for correcting inaccurately recognized text. For example, the recognition tool allows a user to select only a part of an inaccurate text, and then identifies alternate text candidates based upon the selected portion of the inaccurate text. Further, when the user selects text containing multiple words for correction, the recognition tool provides cross combinations of alternate text candidates for the user's selection. Still further, if the user replaces inaccurate text by submitting a new natural input object, the recognition tool ensures that the text recognized from the new natural input object is different from the inaccurate text been replaced. The recognition tool additionally improves the recognition experience after recognized text has been provided to the target application. The recognition tool provides the target application with the original natural input object for the recognized text, along with the alternate text candidates for that original natural input object. Thus, the target application can use the alternate text cabinets to correct inaccurately recognized text. Further, a user can inserts the original natural input object for recognized text within the target application. <IMAGE>
