This paper describes a new simulation technique designed to support a wide spectrum of empirical studies on the characteristics of spoken, handwritten, and combined pen/voice input to future interactive systems. The simulatidn tech,fique alms: (1) to provide a tool for investigating interactive handwriting and pen systems, on which no simulation research currently is available, (2) to devise a technique appropriate for comparing people's use of speech and writing, such that differences be- tween these communication modalities and their related technologies can be better understood, and (3) to support a very rapid exchange with simulated speech, pen. and pen/voice sys- tems, such th,-tt interactions can be subject-paced. This paper outli,tes the pecifica,ions, general environment. and capabil- ities of a new semi-automatic simulation technique developed to achieve these goals
