Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Receive output dynamically generated by a running program and check that output for spelling, grammar, and/or other usage errors, providing notice to a user of any errors found. The dynamically generated output includes an assembly of component parts not statically assigned in a predetermined configuration or with predetermined content, but rather generated and/or configured by the executing program as it runs.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: receiving output dynamically generated by an executing program, with the output including an assembly of component parts generated and/or configured by the executing program as it runs; usage checking the output for usage errors in real time via a debug build of the executing program, with the usage checking performed during run time of the executing program on every line of text as the line of text appears on a display to detect at least a first usage error; and responsive to detection of the first usage error, providing notice of the error to a user, with the provision of notice including: annotating the output substantially simultaneously with generation of the output by the executing program to provide a first annotation indicative of the first usage error, and creating a record of the first usage error in a manner so that the usage record persists beyond termination of the executing program.
