1. A computer-implemented method for inputting ideograms into a computer system, the method comprising:
- receiving phonetic information related to a desired ideogram to be entered;
forming a candidate list of possible ideograms as a function of the phonetic information received;
receiving stroke information related to the desired ideogram, wherein the stroke information comprises at least one stroke present in the desired ideogram; and
using the stroke information to obtain the desired ideogram from the candidate list.

Abstract
A method for inputting ideograms into a computer system includes receiving phonetic information related to a desired ideogram to be entered and forming a candidate list of possible ideograms as a function of the phonetic information received. Stroke information, comprising one or more strokes in the desired ideogram, is received in order to obtain the desired ideogram from the candidate list.

13. A computer readable media having instructions, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform steps comprising:
-
forming a candidate list of candidates related to ideograms as a function of phonetic information;
reducing the number of candidates in the candidate list as a function of stroke information until a candidate is selected; and
adding a plurality of new candidates to the candidate list if the candidate list is reduced to zero, each candidate of the plurality of new candidates being selected as a function of the stroke information. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)

16. A computer readable media having instructions, which when executed by a computer, comprise:
-
a speech recognition module for receiving input speech and providing phonetic information related to a desired ideogram to be entered, the phonetic information being used to form a candidate list of a plurality of candidates, each candidate being a possible ideogram corresponding to the phonetic information;
a processing module receiving stroke information indicative of strokes contained in the desired ideogram, the processing module using the stroke information to reduce the number of candidates in the candidate list; and
a rendering module to render ideograms corresponding to the candidates in the candidate list and receiving an input corresponding to a selected candidate from the candidate list. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
