Touch Screens
| A touch screen is a display that is sensitive to human touch, allowing a user to interact with the applications by touching pictures or words on the screen. Although touch screens provide a natural interface for computer novices, they are unsatisfactory for many applications because the finger is such a relatively large object. |

Writing Areas with Styluses
| A stylus is an input device used to write text or draw lines on a surface as input to a handheld device. A handheld device equipped with a writing area and a stylus needs a handwriting recognition function, but existing systems do not yet have a satisfactory recognition rate. Graffiti was the most popular writing software. |

Speech Recognition
| Speech recognition technology understands human speech and speech synthesis technology is used to read text aloud. |
|
In recent years, by employing devices to remotely access datacenters, where an abundance of computing resources can be utilized, it has become possible to develop speech recognition and synthesis technologies that handle a larger lexicon than has previously been possible on stand-alone devices. This has led to high expectations for the delivery of new and innovative services.
