Speech recognition assisted autocompletion of textual composite words or characters (i.e. words or characters containing a number of components) is provided. In response to user input specifying a component of a word or character, a list of candidate words or characters is generated. The desired word or character can be selected, or the list of candidate words or characters can be narrowed, in response to the user speaking the desired word or character. As a result, entry of words or characters formed from a number of letters, strokes, or word shapes is facilitated by user input comprising a combination of a specification of a component of the desired word or character and speech corresponding to a pronunciation of the desired word or character.
