Recently, usability has become very important in voice user interface systems. In this paper, we have designed and implemented a wizard-of-oz (WOZ) usability testing tool for command-and-control voice user interfaces. We have proposed the VUIDML (Voice User Interface Design Markup Language) to design the usability test scenario of command-and-control voice interfaces in the early design stages. For highly satisfactory voice user interfaces, we have to select highly preferred voice commands and prompts. In VUIDML, we can specify possible prompt candidates. The WOZ usability testing tool can also be used to collect user-preferred voice commands and feedback from real users.

The present Web surroundings is mostly composed of HTML(Hypertext Mark-up Language) and thereby users obtain web informations mainly in GUI(Graphical User Interface) environment by clicking mouse in order to keep up with hyperlinked informations. However it is very inconvenient to work in this environment comparing with easily accessed one in which human`s voice is utilized for obtaining informations. Using VoiceXML, resulted from XML, for supplying the information through telephone on the basis of the contemporary matured technology of voice recognition/synthesis to work out the inconvenience problem, this paper presents the research results about VoiceXML VUI(Voice User Interface) Browser designed and implemented for realizing its technology and also the VoiceXML Dialog designed for the purpose of the browser's efficient use.

The present web informations are mainly described in terms of HTML, which users obtain through input devices such as mouse, keyboard, etc. Thus the existing GUI environment have not supported human's most natural information acquisition means, that is, voice. To solve the problem, several vendors are developing voice user interface. However these products are deficient in man -machine interactivity and their accommodation of existing web environment. This paper presents a VUI(Voice User Interface) supporting web browser by utilizing more and more maturing speech recognition technology and VoiceXML, a markup language derived from XML. It provides users with both interfaces, VUI as well as GUI. In addition, XML Island technology is applied to the bowser in a way that VoiceXML fragments are nested in HTML documents to accommodate the existing web environment. Also for better interactivity, dialogue scenarios for menu, bulletin, and search engine are suggested.

Nowadays the corporations related to Information & Communication field are researching more and more on VoiceXML development. VoiceXML can provide users with more efficient interface, VUI(VoiceXML User Interface) in web environment than the existing one. But more research and development for designing the Dialog have to be done for VUI to be used in efficient way. That was a main topic in "2002 VoiceXML Conference & Expo". According to the importance this paper presents VoiceXML Dialog designed for the purpose of its efficient use and the experimental result.

This paper describes a Voice User Interface(VUI) method and a design guideline tool which supports the studies for domestic appliance. This issue covers specification of user requirement and selection of appropriate VUI to represent speech generation. The criteria for paper is interaction design to enhance user engagement. The studies were carried out to measure prototype of domestic appliance such as a refrigerator, a washing machine, a Gimchi refrigerator, an oven range, a dishwasher and an air conditioner. This paper is presented a study of user preferences and suitability. The results of these findings to voice interface design are discussed and it is suggested that VUI guideline and optimal prototyping can provide a useful application tools in the design process.

한국현재의 컴퓨팅환경은 Text위주의 Command Line상에서의 입출력에서 GUI(Graphic User Interface)환경으로 전환되었다. 이는 사용자에게 좀더 친근한 방법으로의 컴퓨팅환경을 제공하고 있는 것이다. 하지만 아직까지 그러한 환경에 익숙해지기 위해서는 많은 습득시간이 필요하며 또한, 응용프로그램 간의 인터페이싱 기능 등을 익히기 위해서는 추가적인 학습을 통해야 원활한 작업을 수행할 수 있다. 이를 해결하고자 본 연구는 음성인식/ 합성과, 현재 음성마크업 언어인 VoiceXML 등을 통해서 모색해보고자 한다.

In this paper we studied English listening and speaking test part of foreign language using web and VoiceXML-based education testing system, which is irrespective of time and space. The testing system interface based on VoiceXML consists of user registration module, testing module, and testing result module. User registration module registers user's name and ID, password in user database, and when a tester calls for testing, the User listens to the telephone sound supported by vxml scenario. After that, if a tester logs in, the tester is verified, In the VoiceXML-based education testing system, the manager can reduce time and effort for gaining testing result. The tester listens to the voice by scenario supported by VoiceXML markup language using wire/wireless telephone at any time or anywhere and can improve the effect of foreign language studying by valuating in voice directly. verified.

본 연구는 가전제품 사용자 인터페이스에서 음성 신호와 청각 신호의 최적 할당 방법을 기술하였다. 가정에서 수시로 접하는 가전제품에서 음성 유저 인터페이스(Voice User Interface, 이하 VUI) 는 음성을 매개로 일어나는 인간과 기계 간 인터페이스를 뜻한다. 음성 유저 인터페이스의 단독적 적용보다는 소리 신호와 함께 사용하여 사용자들의 인터페이스를 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 주부 사용자들을 대상으로 F.G.I, 실험, Depth Interview 를 수행하여 가전제품의 음성 생성 및 표현 인터페이스에서 음성과 소리 신호의 배치에 대한 사용자들의 니즈 조사 및 실험 결과를 기반으로 최적의 할당 방법을 제시하였다.
