摘要

METHOD AND APPARATUS USING VOICE INPUT TO SOLVE MANUALLY ENTERED TEXT INPUT. From a text input tool, a digital data processing device receives inherently ambiguous user input. Regardless of any other user input, the device interprets the user input received against a vocabulary to produce candidates such as words (of which the user input forms all or part of the word, such as a root, syllable, affix) or sentences having user input as a word, The device shows the candidates and applies speech recognition to the spoken user input. If the recognized failure comprises one of the candidates, that candidate is selected. If the recognized speech forms an extension of a candidate, the extended candidate is selected. If recognized speech comprises another input, several other actions are undertaken.
