Abstract

Interactive television applications for preschool aged children lack suitable instructions. The applications available provide only textual help, which is a barrier for young children who can not read yet. The aim of this study is to present spoken help guidelines and interactive conversation principles as an alternative when designing instructions for preschoolers. This paper also provides a brief overview of an on-going project to develop an interactive spoken Help.
