Abstract

Speech and audio are rapidly becoming integrated into our daily computing environments. While the traditional "terminal beep" still exists, it is being supplemented with a variety of other speech and non-speech sounds, as well as speech input to control applications and user interfaces. This workshop explored current and future applications, research areas, and interaction techniques that use audio in the user interface. The emphasis of the meeting was on a user interface, or "CHI perspective", of using speech and sound in interactive contexts where the audio channel can be exploited for the user's benefit.
