20150347357 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATIC TEXT RECOGNITION AND LINKING - Systems and methods described herein provide for automatically linking words/phrases in messages to corresponding associated objects (e.g., information sources). A message (e.g., social network posting, email, text message) is submitted by a user to a server (e.g., social network server, email server, text messaging server). The server performs text recognition on the message and identifies a plurality of objects that are associated with a selected portion of the message (e.g., word/phrase related to a media asset). An object is selected from the associated objects as a match for the selected portion of the message. The submitted message is modified to visually distinguish the selected portion of the message as a selectable link to a display related to the selected match. The modified, linked message is displayed to the user. | 12-03-2015 |
