Abstract

The voice-interactive processing system enables a user to display office-related data on a screen and manipulate it through a combination of voice and touch commands. The system responds immediately to each request, updating the screen so that the correctness of each action can be verified. If an undesired result is achieved, the user may back up and restate the command in more exacting language. The processor is a general system interface designed to handle various domains including text manipulation, file handling, calendar management, message passing, and desk calculation. Examples of its behavior in the text manipulation domain are given.
