Voice and Graphical User Interfaces: Design Issues

Authors: Tomáš Nestorovič

Abstract:

This paper focuses user interfaces usability and design aspects. Above all, it discusses user interfaces as the top-level asset in speech signal processing. However, a short comparison of speech interfaces to traditional graphical interfaces is made. As such, the paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of what the term “good user interface design” means. Our point of view consists of four stages that cover the interfaces from different points – logic, presentation, feedback, and consistency. Last but not least, the paper concerns psychological aspects of humancomputer interaction, which are often neglected by speech user interface designers.
