The method of claim 6 , wherein the normalized character index and the non-normalized character index each comprise indices representative of all characters within at least one paragraph of the obtained text, and wherein the normalized character index excludes capitalization information associated with the obtained text.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein updating the plurality of indices to reflect the change to provide updated indices comprises:
obtaining, by the at least one processing device, changed text from the document; and
modifying, by the at least one processing device, the plurality of indices, such that the modified plurality of indices are representative of the changed text.
10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein monitoring the document for the change in the text comprises listening, by the at least one processing device, for a change event.
11 . An apparatus for analyzing a document comprising text, the apparatus comprising:
at least one processing device; and
memory operatively connected to the at least one processing device, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by at least one processing device cause the at least one processing device to:
obtain the text from the document to provide obtained text;
generate a plurality of indices representative of the obtained text;
generate a user interface comprising at least a portion of the obtained text that includes an abbreviation based on the plurality of indices;
monitor the document for a change in the text;
in response to detecting a change in the text, update the plurality of indices to reflect the change to provide updated indices; and
generate an updated user interface based on the updated indices without user intervention.
12 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processing device, cause the at least one processing device to generate a plurality of indices representative of the obtained text by causing the at least one processing device to generate at least one document-level index and at least one paragraph-level index.
13 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processing device, cause the at least one processing device to generate at least one document-level index by causing the at least one processing device to generate at least one of:
a normalized word index;
a non-normalized word index;
a normalized character index; and
a non-normalized character index.
14 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the normalized word index and the non-normalized word index each comprise indices representative of all words in the obtained text, and wherein the normalized word index excludes capitalization information associated with the obtained text.
15 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the normalized character index and the non-normalized character index each comprise indices representative of all characters in the obtained text, and wherein the normalized character index excludes capitalization information associated with the obtained text.
16 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processing device, cause the at least one processing device to generate at least one paragraph-level index by causing the at least one processing device to generate at least one of:
a normalized word index;
a non-normalized word index;
a normalized character index; and
a non-normalized character index.
17 . The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the normalized word index and the non-normalized word index each comprise indices representative of all words within at least one paragraph of the obtained text, and wherein the normalized word index excludes capitalization information associated with the obtained text.
