An improved data-entry apparatus for entering handwritten data is disclosed. The user enters a word (or portion thereof, depending on the language and notation used) into a touchpad and speaks the word. Features are extracted from the spoken information. The touchpad data are indicative of any of a number of candidate words, and a multiplicity of speech portion templates are generated, each template indicative of one of the candidate words. The apparatus evaluates the correlation between the extracted features and the features of each generated speech portion template, and the speech portion template having the highest correlation with the extracted features determines the recognized word. Optionally a speech synthesizer speaks the word and an opportunity is provided so the user may confirm the correctness of the recognition. |
