Abstract
A multi-modal text editing correction environment is disclosed. An application program owns a document, while each of a number of handlers has a corresponding input device and is capable of entering text into the document. Each handler has a method callable by the program to request: that the handler return correction content for display by the application; and/or that the handler display a correction interface. A common text framework includes a mechanism to track entry of text into the document by handler, and a correction interface callable by the application program to determine the handler responsible for entering a particular range of text into the document.
