Indicating automatically corrected words

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving a first text string comprising an uncorrected word, entered by a user for use within a communication application, directly from a text entry device;

receiving a second text string to be displayed, corresponding to the first text string, from the communication application;

identifying an autocorrected word in the second text string by comparing the first text string with the second text string and determining that the first text string and second text string are different, the second text string being a result of autocorrecting the uncorrected word in the first text string;

applying a text attribute to the autocorrected word in the second text string;

providing, to a display, the second text string with the text attribute applied to the autocorrected word, wherein the displayed autocorrected word comprises a selection link that, when selected, provides proximate to the autocorrected word a menu including the uncorrected word and other word suggestions;

detecting a user selection of the selection link and the uncorrected word; and

responsive to the detection of the user selection of the uncorrected word, replacing, on the display, the autocorrected word with the uncorrected word.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the text attribute comprises a highlighting, bolding, or blinking applied to the autocorrected word.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the second text string comprises additional characters around the autocorrected word.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the uncorrected word is generated for display proximate to the autocorrected word and provided in a cursor-selectable form for replacing the autocorrected word.

5. A non-transitory computer readable storage device having instructions for causing a computer to implement a method, the method comprising:

receiving a first text string comprising an uncorrected word, entered by a user for use within a communication application, directly from a text entry device;

receiving a second text string to be displayed, corresponding to the first text string, from the communication application;

identifying an autocorrected word in the second text string by comparing the first text string with the second text string and determining that the first text string and second text string are different, the second text string being a result of autocorrecting the uncorrected word in the first text string;

applying a text attribute to the autocorrected word in the second text string;

providing, to a display, the second text string with the text attribute applied to the autocorrected word, wherein the displayed autocorrected word comprises a selection link that, when selected, provides proximate to the autocorrected word a menu including the uncorrected word and other word suggestions;

detecting a user selection of the selection link and the uncorrected word; and

responsive to the detection of the user selection of the uncorrected word, replacing, on the display, the autocorrected word with the uncorrected word.

6. The non-transitory computer readable storage device of claim 5 , wherein the text attribute is selected from the group consisting of highlighting, bolding, italicizing, underlining, coloring, and blinking and is applied to the autocorrected word such that each character of the autocorrected word has the text attribute.

7. The non-transitory computer readable storage device of claim 5 , wherein the indication comprises a box around the autocorrected word.

8. The non-transitory computer readable storage device of claim 5 , wherein the uncorrected word is generated for display proximate to the autocorrected word and provided in a cursor-selectable form for replacing the autocorrected word.

9. A system, comprising:

a processor;

a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to:

receive, directly at an input device, a first text string comprising an uncorrected word, entered by a user for use within a communication application;

receive a second text string to be displayed on a display device, corresponding to the first text string, from the communication application;

identify an autocorrected word in the second text string by comparing the first text string with the second text string and determining that the first text string and second text string are different, the second text string being a result of autocorrecting the uncorrected word in the first text string;

apply a text attribute to the autocorrected word in the second text string;

provide, to the display device, the second text string with the text attribute applied to the autocorrected word, wherein the displayed autocorrected word comprises a selection link that, when selected, provides proximate to the autocorrected word a menu including the uncorrected word and other word suggestions;

detect a user selection of the selection link and the uncorrected word; and

responsive to the detection of the user selection of the uncorrected word, replace, on the display device, the autocorrected word with the uncorrected word.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the text attribute is selected from the group consisting of: highlighting, bolding, italicizing, underlining, coloring, and blinking.

11. The system of claim 9 , further comprising instructions executable by the processor to detect a user selection of a word suggestion from the selection link and to replace the autocorrected word with the selected word suggestion the selected word suggestion is displayed and the autocorrected word is not displayed.
