Correcting errors in copied text

Abstract

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium may include instructions stored thereon for propagating changes to copied text. When executed by at least one processor, the instructions may be configured to cause a computing system to at least present copied text within a user interface of the computing system, monitor the user interface for changes to the copied text, receive a change to the copied text, the change including replacing a first instance of a first word, within the copied text, with a first instance of a second word, and in response to receiving the change to the copied text, present a prompt to replace, within the copied text, a second instance of the first word with a second instance of the second word.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon for correcting errors in copied text that, when executed by at least one processor, are configured to cause a computing system to at least:
 receive, within an email interface presented by the computing system, an identification of a recipient, and copied text;   determine a name associated with the recipient;   determine that a name of a person in the copied text is different than the name associated with the recipient; and   present a prompt to change the name of the person in the copied text to the name associated with the recipient.   
     
     
         2 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 1 , wherein the determining that the name of the person in the copied text is different than the name associated with the recipient includes determining that a name of a person in a first line of the copied text is different from the name associated with the recipient. 
     
     
         3 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 1 , wherein the determining that the name of the person in the copied text is different than the name associated with the recipient includes determining that a name of a person immediately following a salutation in the copied text is different than the name associated with the recipient. 
     
     
         4 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 1 , wherein the determining that the name of the person in the copied text is different than the name associated with the recipient is performed in response to a send instruction. 
     
     
         5 . A method performed by a computing system, the method comprising:
 receiving, within an email interface presented by the computing system, an identification of a recipient, and copied text;   determining a name associated with the recipient;   determining that a name of a person in the copied text is different than the name associated with the recipient; and   presenting a prompt to change the name of the person in the copied text to the name associated with the recipient.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the determining that the name of the person in the copied text is different than the name associated with the recipient includes determining that a name of a person in a first line of the copied text is different from the name associated with the recipient. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the determining that the name of the person in the copied text is different than the name associated with the recipient includes determining that a name of a person immediately following a salutation in the copied text is different than the name associated with the recipient. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the determining that the name of the person in the copied text is different than the name associated with the recipient is performed in response to a send instruction. 
     
     
         9 . A computing system comprising:
 at least one processor; and   a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon for correcting errors in copied text that, when executed by the at least one processor, are configured to cause the computing system to at least:
 receive, within an email interface presented by the computing system, an identification of a recipient, and copied text; 
 determine a name associated with the recipient; 
 determine that a name of a person in the copied text is different than the name associated with the recipient; and 
 present a prompt to change the name of the person in the copied text to the name associated with the recipient. 
   
     
     
         10 . The computing system of  claim 9 , wherein the determining that the name of the person in the copied text is different than the name associated with the recipient includes determining that a name of a person in a first line of the copied text is different from the name associated with the recipient. 
     
     
         11 . The computing system of  claim 9 , wherein the determining that the name of the person in the copied text is different than the name associated with the recipient includes determining that a name of a person immediately following a salutation in the copied text is different than the name associated with the recipient. 
     
     
         12 . The computing system of  claim 9 , wherein the determining that the name of the person in the copied text is different than the name associated with the recipient is performed in response to a send instruction.
