 | | Depending upon the device, users will be able provide input via speech, handwriting, and keystrokes, with output presented via displays, pre-recorded and synthetic speech, audio, and tactile mechanisms such as mobile phone vibrators and Braille strips. |
 | | Multimodal has benefits for desktops, wall mounted interactive displays, multi-function copiers, and other office equipment, offering a richer user experience and the chance to use speech and pens as alternatives to the mouse and keyboard. |
 | | This will enable the capture and server-side processing of handwriting, gestures, drawings, and specific notations for mathematics, music, chemistry and other fields, as well as supporting further research on this processing. |
