COMPUTER SYSTEM WITH INTEGRATED TELEPHONY, HANDWRITING AND SPEECH RECOGNITION FUNCTIONS

摘要

A computer system with speech recognition system (24) and handwriting recognition system (25) is disclosed that work together to improve the total recognition accuracy of each alone. The handwriting recognition system may include a pen/stylus input device (10) and associated program function. The system may be combined with computer and telephone functions (8) to provide an integrated application having voice output programs (26), Internet access (22), e-mail/v-mail (29) and personal information manager (23) functions. The system can recognize speaker dependent and speaker independent speech, converting this information to computer recognizable text, which may be displayed onto a display device (78) in near real-time. Speech recognition errors may be corrected via a pen input device (10), and the pen information may be recognized, converted to text and graphics. This data may then be displayed at near real-time or displayed later at a user specified time. The recognized handwritten pen information may be integrated into the speech recognized text and stored in a data storage system (18).
