Design of Speech-based Devices: A Practical Guide (Practitioner Series) - Softcover
Book 4 of 12: Practitioner Series
Synopsis
Developments in technology have made it possible for speech output to be used in place of the more usual visual interface in both domestic and commercial devices. Speech can be used in situations where visual attention is occupied, such as when driving a car, or where a task is complex and traditional visual interfaces are not effective, such as programming a video recorder. Speech can also be employed in specialist adaptations for visually impaired people.
However, the use of speech has not been universally successful, possibly because the speech interaction is poorly designed. Speech is fundamentally different from text, and a lot of the problems may arise due to simplified text-to-speech conversion. Design of Speech-based Devices considers the problems associated with speech interaction, and offers practical solutions.

From the Author
Speech is increasingly being used in everyday products (car navigation systems, PDAs etc). However, the way speech utterances should be designed is not always well understood; you should NOT simply take the same words that would appear on a screen in a visual device and put them through a speech synthesizer. This book is a practical guide to designing the kinds of utterances you should use.
