A Speech-in List-out Approach to Spoken User Interfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spoken user interfaces are conventionally either dialogue based or menu-based. In this paper we propose a third approach, in which the task of invoking responses from the system is treated as one of retrieval from the set of all possible responses. Unlike conventional spoken user interfaces that return a unique response to the user, the proposed interface returns a shortlist of possible responses, from which the user must make the final selection. We refer to such interfaces as Speech-In List-Out or SILO interfaces. Experiments show that SILO interfaces can be very effective, are highly robust to degraded speech recognition performance, and can impose significantly lower cognitive load on the user as compared to menu-based interfaces.

Towards best practices for speech user interface design
Designing speech interfaces is difficult. Research on spoken language systems and commercial application development has created a body of speech interface design knowledge. However, this knowledge is not easily accessible to practitioners. Few experts understand both speech recognition and human factors well enough to avoid the pitfalls of speech interface design. To facilitate the design of b...
متن کاملSpoken Dialogue Interfaces for Older People
Although speech is a highly natural mode of communication, building robust and usable speech-based interfaces is still a challenge, even if the target user group is restricted to younger users. When designing for older users, there are added complications due to cognitive, physiological, and anatomical ageing. Users may also find it difficult to adapt to the interaction style required by the sp...

متن کاملSpoken Variable Initiative Dialog: An Adaptable Interface
Recent advances in speech recognition technology have raised hopes about the development of practical spoken natural language interfaces. Embedding the speech recognition technology within a sophisticated dialog processing mechanism can overcome many of the traditional problems in spoken natural language systems. This paper presents a theory of natural language dialog that enables: (1) robust b...
متن کاملDesign and Evaluation of Spoken Dialog Systems
Interactive spoken dialog systems extend the range of automated telecommunication services beyond simple limited-choice form-filling applications to goal-directed tasks covering richer, more complex domains. Creating effective and efficient dialog systems requires not only accurate ancl robust speech recognition and language modeling, but also iterative, principled design of the user interface ...
