This article describes issues to consider when designing multimodal applications that allow users to interact with a device using keyboard, stylus, touchscreen, voice, and telephone keys.

A multimodal application provides end-users with a flexible interface that allows them to interact with a device using a combination of keyboard, touch screen, stylus, telephone keys, and voice. The most important characteristics of a multimodal application are the use of voice and its integration with the visual representation. Due to these special characteristics, you need to make special considerations when designing a multimodal application. This paper discusses important design issues to consider.
