Robustness in Speech Based Interfaces: Sharing the Tricks of the Trade
| |
Call for Participation Background Workshop Goals Workshop structure Participants Organisers Workshop proposal Workshop papers Preliminary schedule |
Speech is as innate to humans as breathing. We speak to our cats, our
dogs and some of us even speak to our plants. While speech is a very
natural form of communication for people, its adoption rate has been
slow in major commercial computer systems. Part of this may be due to
the fact that insufficient usability expertise has gone into the
design of many speech systems; many having been created by speech
developers instead of HCI experts. Given that speech is not 100%
accurate, nor will be in the foreseeable future, a special set of
skills and knowledge must be applied to the design of speech
interfaces to make them usable. Part of the goal of the workshop is to
expand the base of this knowledge through sharing from experience.
