Drawing from psychology, human-computer interaction, linguistics, and communication theory, \u003cstrong\u003ePractical Speech User Interface Design\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a comprehensive yet concise survey of practical speech user interface (SUI) design. It offers practice-based and research-based guidance on how to design effective, efficient, and pleasant speech applications that people can really use. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFocusing on the design of speech user interfaces for IVR applications, the book covers speech technologies including speech recognition and production, ten key concepts in human language and communication, and a survey of self-service technologies. The author, a leading human factors engineer with extensive experience in research, innovation and design of products with speech interfaces that are used worldwide, covers both high- and low-level decisions and includes Voice XML code examples. To help articulate the rationale behind various SUI design guidelines, he includes a number of detailed discussions of the applicable research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe techniques for designing usable SUIs are not obvious, and to be effective, must be informed by a combination of critically interpreted scientific research and leading design practices. The blend of scholarship and practical experience found in this book establishes research-based leading practices for the design of usable speech user interfaces for interactive voice response applications.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45565410443502,"sku":"9781439815847","price":184.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781439815847.jpg?v=1720678812","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/practical-speech-user-interface-design-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
