USER INTERFACES
THEORY
9. Sound and speech interface
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| The user does not need to be trained in how to use the interface | Reliability remains an issue - the interface can only respond to commands that have been programmed |
| More flexibility than a dialogue interface | Highly complex to program and so only warrants this kind of interface where other types of interface are unsuitable |
| Suitable for physically handicapped people | Not widely available as other forms of interface are often superior |
| A voice interface might need training in order to get the software to recognise what the user is saying |
