A Wizard of Oz Prototyping Tool for Speech User Interfaces
Speech-based user interfaces are growing in popularity. Unfortunately,
the technology expertise required to build speech UIs precludes many
individuals from participating in the speech interface design process.
Furthermore, the time and knowledge costs of building even simple
speech systems make it difficult for designers to iteratively design
speech UIs. We have developed SUEDE, a speech interface prototyping
tool allowing designers to rapidly create prompt/response speech interfaces.
It offers an electronically supported Wizard of Oz (WOz) technique
that captures test data, allowing designers to analyze the interface
after testing. This informal tool enables user interface designers,
even non-experts, to quickly create, test, and analyze speech UI prototypes.
