1. A method of using text and speech information to predict a character string that is desired to be entered into an electronic device, comprising:
- receiving a voice input from a user;
receiving designated text input from the user;
using a predictive model to generate at least one candidate character string based upon the voice input and the designated text input; and
exhibiting the at least one candidate character string to the user.

Abstract
A combined predictive speech and text recognition system. The present invention combines the functionality of text input programs with speech input and recognition systems. With the present invention, a user can both manually enter text and speak desired letters, words or phrases. The system receives and analyzes the provided information and provides one or more proposals for the completion of words or phrases. This process can be repeated until an adequate match is found.
