An example of using cross-modal learning to map speech onto interface actions. The jfig drawing program has been instrumented so that all Java events can be detected and associated with speech events. In the video Peter "delegates" some of the operations from the mouse to the speech channel. There is no explicit training phase. Instead, the interface watches and listens to Peter and learns during use.
