Designing Effective Speech Interfaces
Susan Weinshenk, Dean T. Barker
Résumé
speech-enabled applications
It's not just a farfetched gizmo straight out of StarTrek
anymore. Speech interface
technology, which allows users to communicate with
computers using their voices instead
of keyboards or a mouse, has arrived and will be a main
feature in the next version of the
interface software. For the millions of traditional
graphical user-interface designers who
need to make a rapid transition in order to stay abreast
of this monumental shift in
software development, here is a straightforward guide with
all the answers. Written by a
pair of experts in state-of-the-art online communication,
the book discusses the basics of
each type of speech interface and then leads readers step
by step through the entire
design and testing process. Also featured is unprecedented
coverage of the special issues
involved in interface design for disabled persons.
