NDLI: Flexible shortcuts: designing a new speech user interface for command execution

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Nakano, Teppei
Abstract	This paper proposes a new speech user interface for command execution called "Flexible Shortcuts." With this approach, users can select any commands by using "continuous keyword input," a voice input method using a series of keywords related to the command. Keywords are defined by a hierarchically structured command set, called the "functional structure." Two kinds of interactions are designed to support user-friendliness and effectiveness: interaction for exploration and interaction for the resolution of ambiguity. A probabilistic formulation for this approach is also considered. An experiment and objective evaluation method are designed so that the new interface for command execution can be compared with the conventional "command and control" interface. A comparative experiment to measure the efficiency and usability is also conducted and reported in this paper. Experimental results show that the proposed approach is superior to the conventional approach from both objective and subjective points of view.
