Abstract

An electronic apparatus with a multi-mode interactive operation method is disclosed. The electronic apparatus includes a display unit, a selecting unit, a voice recognition unit and a control unit. The display unit displays a frame. The selecting unit selects an arbitrary area of the frame on the display unit. The voice recognition unit recognizes a voice signal as a control command. The control unit processes data according to the control command on the content of the arbitrary area selected. A multi-mode interactive operation method is disclosed herein as well.
