Designing SpeechActs: issues in speech user interfaces
Open accessAbstract
SpeechActs is an t:xperimental conversational speech system.Experience with redesigning the system based on user feedback indicates the importance of adhering to conversational conventions when designing speech interfaces, particularly in the face of speech recognition errors.Study results also suggest that speech-only interfaces should be designed from scratch rather than directly translated from their graphical counterparts.Thi& paper examines a set of challenging issues facing speech inteIface designers and describes approaches to address some of these challenges.

In the citing paper
“Processing user input takes its time and a spoken language system that does not provide feedback on (at least) the levels of contact or perception leaves the user in an 'ambiguous silence' (Yankelovich et al., 1995) that can either mean that processing of user speech is still ongoing or that user input was not even perceived and waiting longer will not solve the problem.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
