Certain text editing techniques are provided to enable the user to select a few characters or words from an original collection of text by a limited number of user inputs, such as by touching or swiping a character or word to be edited. Options for probable edits of the original text can be automatically presented to the user in a manner that also only requires a minimal number of user inputs. Such techniques may facilitate text editing that is easier and more convenient for users of portable electronic devices. These techniques may be particularly advantageous for enabling editing of text acquired from an optical character recognition (OCR) process on any computing device. Other text editing shortcuts and similar approaches are also described.
