Audio Navigation Patterns

Abstract

Nowadays, the design of effiient speech interfaces is considered to be more an art than an engineering science. Several guidelines exist, but are more or less hints about what should be avoided. We introduce a first set of patterns integrating many guidelines and solution approaches developed during the past 15 years. Our goal is to document and share this knowledge with new designers as well as providing a language to talk about Voice User Interface (VUI) designs.
