Abstract: A method of providing multimodal input data to client applications in a data capture device with multiple input assemblies includes: storing, in a memory of the device: a client application defining input fields; and a plurality of input profiles each containing an input field identifier and a modality identifier corresponding to one of the input assemblies. Via execution of the client application, the device controls a display to simultaneously render a plurality of the input fields; determines an active one of the rendered input fields and obtains an active field identifier of the active input field; retrieves an active one of the input profiles containing a field identifier that matches the active input field identifier; controls one of the input assemblies corresponding to the modality identifier of the active input profile to obtain input data; and populates the active input field with the obtained input data.
