The Use of Voice Input to Induce Human Communication with Banking Chatbots

Abstract

The use of chatbots is more common in our everyday lives than ever before. However, few studies have been conducted comparing the differences between text- and voice-input modalities of chatbots in the banking industry. In this study, through empirical and survey-based research, users were shown to rate their relationships with the banking chatbot as more helpful and self-validating when they communicate with it by a voice-input modality than by a text-input modality.
