Patent ID: 8306356

Claim:
A computer-implemented method embodied in a non-transitory medium for composing text, said method configured to execute the computer-implemented steps of: a) reading in successive blocks of text input having defined characters including letters and punctuation in a format; b) examining a language unit in the text input of the current block; c) assigning a combined information measure (CIM) to each character in the language unit indicating the predictability of that character to differentiate the language unit from other language units; d) repeating steps b and c for a plurality of language units in the current block; e) determining an adjustment of a physical feature of each said character in said plurality of language units to modify the prominence of that character according to the values of the assigned CIMs; f) applying the physical feature adjustment to each said character in said plurality of language units in the text input to compose the text input consistent with said format; g) repeating steps b through f for the next block of text input; and h) outputting the composed text input by writing it to a storage device, printing it onto a visually readable medium, displaying it on a visual display unit, imprinting it onto a tactile medium or converting to an audio output.
