Or a system of conjugating verbs, more accurately.
The technique, which is a favourite in English language text books, allows the user to input the infinitive form or non-infinitive forms of a verb. When a user inputs a non-infinitive form of a verb, the verb conjugating system identifies a corresponding base form of the verb.

The original system was invented by Eric Voetberg, Jinson Yu, Mark Stumpf and Robert Parkin.

Lol, ok. I get it. It's part of Office's grammar check system. You might want to clear that up, it sounds like Microsoft is trying to patent the english language.
