Wim Claassen, EDWIN BOS, Carla Huls, Koenraad De Smedt · 1993
Action mode interfaces, in which users achieve their goals by manipulating representations, suffer from some fundamental disadvantages.In this paper, we present a working prototype of a system called Continuous Linguistic Feedback Generator (CLFG), a facility that addresses the major disadvantages.CLFG generates natural language descriptions of the actions the user is performing.These descriptions are presented in both the visual and audio channels.The knowledge sources and algorithm that enable CLFG to provide relevant and concise information are described in detail.
