Abstract

A non-transitory processor readable medium is described having processor executable instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to monitor application data from a user device via a communications network, analyze the application data for one or more indicator, retrieved one or more ideograph indicative of a graphical representation of one or more meaning of the one or more indicator, and transmit the one or more ideograph to the user device via a communications network. The application data is indicative of text entered into an application by a user via the user device. The one or more indicator is at least a portion of the text entered into the application and has one or more meaning.
