Efficiency of speech recognition for using interface design environments by novel designers

Abstract:- Previous studies on usability of graphical design-widgets, like menus and buttons, proposed the use of speech and non-speech (earcons and auditory icons) for solving their usability problems. In this paper we investigate speech as an input metaphor to enhance learnability, or the ability to use a system with no prior knowledge, in order to design interfaces using a multimodal interface design toolkit called MMID. Using this toolkit as an experimental platform, the paper presents an empirical multi-group study that compares efficiency of visual-only and multimodal interaction metaphors when used by novel users. Key-Words:- interface-design, usability, learnability, experienced performance, efficiency, multimodal interaction, voice-instruction, speech.
