ABSTRACT:
A comprehensive system is provided for designing a voice activated user interface (VA UI) having a semantic and syntactic structure adapted to the culture and conventions of spoken language for the intended users. The system poses, to at least one respondent, a hypothetical task to be performed; asks each of the at least one respondent for a word that the respondent would use to command the hypothetical task to be performed; receives, from each of the at least one respondent, a command word; develops a list of command words from the received command word; and rejects the received command word, if the received command word is acoustically similar to another word in the list of command words. The approach is general across languages and encompasses universal variables of language and culture. Also provided are prompting grammar and error handling methods adapted to such user interfaces.
