DESCRIPTION:
State of the Art Book on Audio Interface This book is written by an author who has written a number of useful tools employing auditory user interfaces. Thus the author is able to articulate the issues associated with audio interfaces. I particularly enjoyed reading about his solution techniques.
Auditory interfaces are presented using concrete examples that have been implemented on an electronic desktop. The author's approach is implemented in two large systems, ASTER - a computing system that produces high-quality interactive aural renderings of electronic documents - and Emacspeak - a fully-fledged speech interface to workstations, including fluent spoken access to the World Wide Web and many desktop applications. Using this approach, developers can design new high-quality AUIs. Communication devices such as hand-held computers, smart telephones, talking web browsers, and others will need to incorporate speech-enabling interfaces to be effective.. It will also be of interest to academic and industrial researchers, and engineers designing and implementing computer systems that speak. Auditory User Interfaces: Toward the Speaking Computer describes a speech-enabling approach that separates computatio
