Abstract
A user interface that accepts input data through both speech and the use of a pen or stylus. With the interface, a user can employ voice recognition to enter a large volume of data, and subsequently employ a stylus input to modify the input data. A user can also employ stylus input, such as data from a handwriting or character recognition operation, to control how subsequently spoken words are recognized by a voice recognition operation. Further, a user may input data using a stylus, and then modify the input data using a voice recognition operation. A user may also employ a voice recognition operation to control how handwriting or character data input through a stylus is recognized by a handwriting recognition operation or a character recognition operation. In addition to a user interface, a technique is disclosed for inputting data into a computer where information is shared between a speech input operation and a handwriting input operation.
