METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INTEGRATING MULTI-MODAL DATA CAPTURE DEVICE INPUTS WITH MULTI-MODAL OUTPUT CAPABILITIES

摘要

A dialog engine (254) includes methods for integrating multi-modal data capture device inputs (266 - 274) with multi-modal output (258 -262) capabilities in which a work flow description (208) is extracted from objects in a graphical user interface (86) and a multi-modal user interface is defined. The dialog engine (254) synchronizes the flow of information, in accordance with the work flow description (208), between input/output devices (256a-c, and 264a-e) and an application (204).
