I recently read an article that discuss the use of a vocal user interface. Instantly I couldn't help thinking of the terrible voice to type applications that came out years ago. It seems like voice recognition just sort of faded into oblivion. Well, at least on personal computers. Anyways, the article was mainly about interaction issues for vocal user interfaces.
These are some of the necessary functions highlighted in the article:
A vocal user interface should be able to:
capture speech as text.
maintain a list of VoiceListeners by adding new ones and removing old ones.
Be able to notify VoiceListeners fo a Voice Event directed at the VUI
Support being told to focus on speech capture by any one of the VoiceListeners.
A Voice Listener should be able to:
hear a Voice Event
Act accordingly to a Voice event
A Voice Event should:
Encapsulate voice speech
Identify the source
Voice technology seems that it would be quite beneficial in web applications, the problem is in a case where the VoiceListener mishandles the VoiceEvent. This could potentially be disastrous. Hopefully though, they continue to move forward and improve the technology so this is not a concern
