Best practices for creating MMI Modality Components Note Published

The Multimodal Interaction (MMI) Working Group today published Best practices for creating MMI Modality Components as a Group Note. Multimodal access means that people may use diverse "modalities" for interaction with the Web, including screen, keyboard, digital ink, voice, speech output, etc. The Working Group has defined a general and flexible framework providing interoperability among modality-specific components from different vendors - for example, speech recognition from one vendor and handwriting recognition from another. The current Note provides additional informative guidelines for authors of MMI modality components. Its purpose is to help authors create useful constituents that may be more easily incorporated into a multimodal system. Learn more about the Multimodal Interaction Activity.
