Base Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: receiving, at a computing device, a first user input comprising text being added to an electronic document; after a predetermined amount of text has been added to the electronic document, initiating a fact correction mode comprising: identifying a factual proposition within the text added to the electronic document; identifying entities for the factual proposition, attributes associated with the entities, and values associated with the attributes; determining a similarity score by comparing the attributes to reference attributes from a source external to the electronic document, wherein the reference attributes are associated with the entities identified in the factual proposition, and wherein reference values are associated with the reference attributes; if the similarity score is above a threshold value, comparing the values to the reference values to identify whether the factual proposition is inaccurate; and if the factual proposition is inaccurate, outputting, for display, a visual indication of the inaccurate factual proposition.

Claim 3:
3. The method of claim 1 further comprising: receiving, at the computing device, a second user input comprising an indication selecting the visual indication associated with the inaccurate factual proposition; in response to the second user input, outputting, for display, a menu comprising a correction element and a cancel element, wherein the correction element is based on an accurate factual proposition related to the inaccurate factual proposition, and wherein the cancel element, when selected, rejects the correction element; receiving, at the computing device, a third user input comprising one of an indication selecting the correction element and an indication selecting the cancel element; and in response to the third user input, modifying the electronic document, resulting in a corrected version of the electronic document, by replacing at least a portion of the inaccurate factual proposition with at least a portion of the accurate factual proposition if the third user input is an indication selecting the correction element and by removing the menu from the display without replacing any portion of the inaccurate factual proposition if the third user input is an indication selecting the cancel element.
