          Application No. 08/073,091                                                  


               operating a second transducer for converting, in                       
               parallel with the step of converting a user's                          
               speech, the user's handwriting to a second signal;                     
               combining with a digital data processor the first                      
               signal and the second signal to generate a third                       
               signal ....                                                            
          Further similarly, claims 85 and 86 specify in pertinent part               
          the following limitations:                                                  
               a user interface having a first input coupled to an                    
               output of a speech transducer means and a second                       
               input coupled to an output of a handwriting                            
               transducer means, for receiving signals therefrom                      
               and for converting the signals to a first multi-                       
               dimensional representation of a speech signal and to                   
               a second multi-dimensional representation of a                         
               handwriting signal;                                                    
               a first likelihood estimator, having an input                          
               coupled to said first multi-dimensional                                
               representation of the speech signal, for generating,                   
               in accordance with an associated first word model                      
               and in response to the first multi-dimensional                         
               representation, a first list comprised of one or                       
               more probable words that the first multi-dimensional                   
               representation may represent;                                          
               a second likelihood estimator, having an input                         
               coupled to said second multi-dimensional                               
               representation of the handwriting signal, for                          
               generating, in accordance with an associated second                    
               word model and in response to the second multi-                        
               dimensional representation, a second list comprised                    
               of one or more probable words that the second multi-                   
               dimensional representation may represent;
