Such inputs may be directed to various software systems on the computer for further processing, wherein the software systems provide language-specific processing. Each application program and/or thread within an application program active on or accessible by the computer may have a different selected input language. More specifically, systems, methods, and computer-readable media for this process may include: (a) determining an input language for a first application program accepting input through a computer; and (b) selecting at least one software system capable of accepting or operating on at least some of the input based, at least in part, on the input language determined for the first application program. The software system(s) may include at least one member selected from the group of: a soft keyboard generator, a handwriting recognizer, and a speech recognizer. In some examples, the input language of various software systems on the computer may be tied to the input language of another software system, such as the soft keyboard. For example, in some instances, a specific handwriting recognizer and/or a specific speech recognizer may be selected for receiving input based, at least in part, on the input language determined for the soft keyboard used in the application program."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Multiple input language selection","description":"Multiple language inputs may be provided to various applications programs and/or threads in a computer system.
