I would say that Wernicke's region (WR) is the place of integration of somatic, visual and auditory information.
Each visual or auditory information, after being received by primary and secondary visual and auditory areas, comes into WR. WR is the place where we understand the message and decide what we will do (think out the answer). Then, the information from WR goes to Broca's area and then to the primary motor cortex, then to the muscles included in speach (in order to say something).
I suppose that if we don't want to say but to write down sth that we read, the visual information will come to the primary visual cortex, the secondary visual areas, angular gyrus, WR respectively. In WR we become aware of the message and understand it, then the information is proceeded to the motor cortex and then to the musles involved in writing.
