ABSTRACT:
A text editor is connected to a speech recognizing unit for editing preferably spoken input text using a display speech. For each text word (including digits), and each punctuation mark that can be recognized and is contained in a dictionary, a token is stored for holding information on character count, capitalization, left and right concatenation of the respective item, and for providing fields for context conditions. For each segment or entity recognized spoken text, a respective character string and associated token is transferred to storage in the editor to allow automatic formatting and correct displaying or printing of the text, including spaces and capitalization where required. Tokens are updated during editing to reflect modifications such as in the beginning of a sentence or in concatenation. Switching to spelling mode is provided for entering single spelled characters in case where a word cannot be recognized or where spelling is desired.
