message, conveyed separately by the first signal and by the
second signal, or conveyed jointly by the first signal and the
second signal. The processing includes converting the first
signal into a plurality of first multidimensional vectors and
converting the second signal into a plurality of second
multidimensional vectors. For a system employing a combined
use of speech and handwriting, the processing includes
combining individual ones of the plurality of first
multidimensional vectors and individual ones of the plurality
of second multidimensional vectors to form a plurality of
third multidimensional vectors. The multidimensional vectors
are employed to train a single set of word models, for joint
use of speech and handwriting, or two sets of word models, for
sequentially employed or merged speech and handwriting.
Claim 44, which is representative for our purposes,
follows:
44. A message recognition system comprising:
a first transducer for converting a user's speech to
a first signal;
a second transducer for converting the user's
handwriting to a second signal; and
