Hi folks, If you know anyone with a strong background in statistical language modeling, here's a job opening. Please contact Lance directly with any replies. ...
Hi, I am a VUID from india and I would like to know how the market is for VUIDs outside India. I dont see much of oppurtunities in here, as not many companies...
Hi Sushma, I'm a VUID in the US, so perhaps my view is skewed. However, until recently, I did work for a company with several offices around the world. Here's...
I think you're probably right Todd, but I am guessing too. Australian markets in general are about 1/10th of the US, so, your assessment of the US market size...
One of the things I find interesting in these discussions is that most opinions on persona/minimilist/etc. are based on opinion or at the most a usability...
Excellent point, Peter. Real case example: I mailed a USPS Express mail large envelope on Monday to my son in Atlanta. I used the post office automated kiosk ...
You are correct that the vast majority of design guidelines are not backed up by properly controlled experiments. The problem is that nobody seems particularly...
Hey there, One method that I've used in the past if there are two ways of doing something and it's difficult to choose between them is to put both into the app...
The title of the post says "lack of empirical data," but I'd say it's a more a case of lack of experimental data. There are tons of empirical data from tuning...
Wikpedia defines empirical as this: A central concept in science and the scientific method is that all evidence must be empirical, or empirically based, that...
Peter N: Sorry to take so long getting back to you, I've been traveling. Here's an example -- not a great one, because we're focused specifically in this...
What he said... ________________________________ From: vuids@yahoogroups.com [mailto:vuids@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Peter Leppik Sent: Saturday, 9 August...
Maybe it's because I am a bit of a fence sitter, but I want to take you to task on this bit: "(and the experimental persona VUI design would have to be...
No problem on the delay. Once upon a time no-one expected near-instant email replies... ;-) Unless I am missing something, that dialogue is pretty standard...
Hi Peter, I have a few responses for you... On Sun, Aug 10, 2008 at 10:59 PM, Peter Nann ... Actually, my experience has been that most applications fall back...
I dunno if "persona" is a good or a bad thing - my point is there's no real data procured via even a modicum of strict experimental control to prove a...
Hi Mark, You seem to work for what might be considered a "client company", right? Have you had conversations w/ your management about running experiments like...
Last year we were criticized for doing it in a fern bar. This year I propose riverside: P.D. O'Hurley's at Pier 84, 557 Twelfth Ave (at 44th St) You can rent a...
Yes, we're looking at some studies that would compare: 1. Strong persona vs minimalist. Holding other variables like order of presentation, data input, and...

I agree with what you are saying. Hard evidence would be good. I was trying to give you a concrete example. Sorry if it wasn't clear. One of my examples was...
Everything has a persona. A 10 year-old TTS engine has a persona. A cat turd has a persona. You might as well make sure that the persona of your speech app...
I forgot to mention that for a Very Large customer deployment we recently completed, we in fact DID do a highly controlled experiment where we pitted three...
Blockbuster at 866-692-2789 evidently has both a speech and a DTMF app running, and repeated calls will get one or the other. Two remarkably different voices....
There is a handy readability test tool at http://www.addedbytes.com/tools/readability-score/ and others elsewhere. I like pasting my prompts into there and ...
I don't know of any easy online test for listenability -- I'm not aware of any research to define what that would be. A couple of things to keep in mind: 1. An...
That example is very vaild for supporting the hypothesis that prompt coaching and delivery is important. Not sure if it's persona...but moves towards persona. ...
Yes, true - but what I am saying is - to support hypothesis that persona A works better than persona B therefore persona is important to a successful VUI, one...
I like that - one of more salient points made on persona - the caller is inclined to merely dislike the service provider rather than stalking and killing them...
