Abstract
Speech recognition assisted autocompletion of textual composite words or characters (i.e. words or characters containing a number of components) is provided. In response to user input specifying a component of a word or character, a list of candidate words or characters is generated. The desired word or character can be selected, or the list of candidate words or characters can be narrowed, in response to the user speaking the desired word or character. As a result, entry of words or characters formed from a number of letters, strokes, or word shapes is facilitated by user input comprising a combination of a specification of a component of the desired word or character and speech corresponding to a pronunciation of the desired word or character.

a user input, wherein a number of components of a desired character are available for selection, and wherein a pronunciation by a user of said desired character is received;
a memory, wherein said memory contains a table of characters; and
a processor, wherein in response to user input comprising at least a first component of a desired character said processor executes instructions to perform a look up in said table in said memory and to form a first list of candidate characters, and wherein in response to user input comprising a pronunciation of a desired character said processor executes instructions to modify said first list of candidate characters to form a second list of candidate characters containing characters determined to correspond to said pronunciation of a desired character - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
