Previous: Known Bimodal Experiments
A number of application areas are possible [74]:
- ink and speech annotation of existing documents
- pointing by pen, data or modifier input by voice
- the combined pen/voice typewriter: text input
The interesting functionality is derived from the complementarity of the
two human output channels. Pointing to objects by speech is dull, slow and
error-prone. Thus for pointing, the pen may be used. Similarly, for
symbolic data entry, speech is a fast and natural channel. In text input,
the combined recognition of speech and handwriting may considerably improve
recognition rates.
