چکیده
Voice use is gaining prominence. However, people feel awkward using voice user interactions (UIs) around others. This is because voice UIs can be particularly embarrassing.

I hope the workshop will provide an interesting forum to discuss challenges as well as opportunities for reducing embarrassment while using voice UIs. Author
