Providing text input using speech data and non-speech data
Systems, methods, and computer readable media providing a speech input interface. The interface can receive speech input and non-speech input from a user through a user interface. The speech input can be converted to text data and the text data can be combined with the non-speech input for presentation to a user.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the communication interface is operable to multiplex the speech input and the non-speech input into a single communication stream.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the non-speech input includes a typeface selection operable to change a typeface of the text data.
10. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving speech data and non-speech data from a mobile device, the non-speech data being associated with time information, the time information operable to specify a sequence in which the speech data and non-speech data are assembled;
retrieving text data from the speech
data using speech recognition;
assembling the text data with the non-speech data based on the time information to produce output data; and
providing the output data to the mobile device.
11. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising receiving the non-speech data using a wireless connection.
12. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein the non-speech data comprises punctuation, symbols or typeface data.
13. One or more non-transitory computer readable media having software program code operable to perform operations comprising:
receiving speech data and non-speech data from a mobile device, the non-speech data being associated with time information, the time information operable to specify a sequence in which the speech data and non-speech data are assembled;
retrieving text data from the speech data using speech recognition;
assembling the text data with the non-speech data based on the time information to produce output data; and
providing the output data to the mobile device.
14. The computer readable media of claim 13 , wherein the time information includes a timestamp of the non-speech data, the timestamp indicating a relative time of the non-speech data to the speech data.
15. A system comprising:
one or more computing devices configured to perform operations comprising:
receive receiving speech data and non-speech data from a mobile device, the non-speech data being associated with time information, the time information operable to specify a sequence in which the speech data and non-speech data are assembled;
retrieving text data from the speech data using speech recognition;
assembling the text data with the non-speech data based on the time information to produce output data; and
providing the output data to the mobile device.
16. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
providing for display a text editor operable to receive speech input and non-speech input;
receiving the speech input;
while receiving the speech input, receiving the non-speech input and time information associated with the non-speech input, the time information operable to specify a sequence in which the speech input and non-speech input are assembled;
retrieving text data from the speech input using speech recognition;
assembling the text data with the non-speech input based on the time information to produce output data and
providing the output data for display in the text editor.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the text editor is associated with an application comprising any of an electronic mail application, a web browsing application, a word processing application, a data entry application, a text messaging application, or an instant messaging application.
18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the speech input comprises typeface data.
19. The method of claim 16 , further comprising multiplexing the speech input and the non-speech input into a single communication stream.
20. The computer-implemented method of claim 16 , wherein receiving the speech input includes receiving the speech input using a microphone.
21. The computer-implemented method of claim 16 , further comprising:
receiving edit input from a user through a touchscreen interface; and
modifying the text data based upon the edit input.
22. The computer-implemented method of claim 16 , further comprising transmitting the speech input and non-speech input using a real-time streaming protocol.
23. One or more non-transitory computer readable media having software program code operable to perform operations comprising:
providing for display a text editor operable to receive speech input and non-speech data;
receiving the speech input;
