Don't know if this has been mentioned, but I imagine there will likely be some effects caused by prosody and inflection variations depending on the length of...
Peter N., Of course you're right, but I think the way Jim built the table for us helps minimize the problem. I also think trying to accommodate it would get ...
Jenni: "That said, we're struggling with how much of a big deal to make about it to the callers. I think that the written instructions will be more valuable...
Jim: Wouldn't giving people explicit pronunciation instructions defeat the entire purpose of the experiment? If we do that, we're no longer gathering data...
Peter Leppik: "Wouldn't giving people explicit pronunciation instructions defeat the entire purpose of the experiment? If we do that, we're no longer ...
I'm really more interested in the recognizer results than the caller behavior, thus I'd like to minimize the confusion on what to say. One would hope that in...
I agree about with everything you said in regards to my comment. Just thought I would point it out. On the other question. - How about use lower case for...
I think Peter L. came up with a good solution. He suggested spelling out all numbers. So we'd have strings like this: A one B two C three I one O zero five Z...
That thought crossed my mind, but I think that will completely kill the continuous delivery of the characters/digits, and will hence put a big dent in the...
Hi, I don't see why co-articulation can be compromised by changing the presentation, for example: Changing: A B C 1 2 3 To: A B C one two three Both...
In your example - Probably spoken about the same. But there _will_ be a difference (for many callers at least) between: ABC123 and A B C 1 2 3 I have never...
Hi Peter-- I'm afraid as a phonetician that I don't agree with your assessment of how big a pronunciation impact adding spaces will have for the alpha-num....
I think I stated my objection sort of miseladingly in my previous post (that's what I get for multi-multi-multi-tasking). It's not just spaces between the...
I accept your theory, as a theory, but I have tuned many a numeric and alpha-numeric string grammars, and my observations differ. A non-trivial subset of...
Susan and I were chatting about this morning, and she's going to help me with a little pre-test. She has software to analyze the recordings done both ways by...
BTW, There are some combinations (from the matrix diagonal) missing in your listing, for example: AA, BB, CC, 11, 33, etc. Those pairs will have some relevance...

Hi All, I have not been following this thread in detail and I do not have a clear picture of how general the results of this study are intended to be in terms...
A couple more potentially irrelevant comments on this. I think what people will say, or (or write) telling you what they think they will say will be influenced...
One more comment What errors they experience during the dialog, whether or not they care about the outcome, and whether they are reciting the string from ...
This thread continues to be fascinating. Several months ago I was watching the old movie "WarGames" on DVD, with the commentary turned on. The producers...
Yes, yes, and yes! I agree Bruce. I have come to think that the biggest difficulty with this experiment is going to be getting the speakers to behave naturally...
Hi everyone, Not sure if anyone cares about this kind of thing since I never hear back, but I'll keep throwing it out there for ya until someone shuts me up....
1) Zero, which was sad. Especially because we are interaction designers (my argument for that name vs. VUI has many good reasons supporting it) and this...
Looks really interesting. I can see an handful of sessions that would be intriguing and (heaven forbid) actually present ideas I haven't heard before... I'll...
Thanks Phillip. Great write-up. Eagerly anticipating more. For those of you in the Bay Area, this is upcoming, "IxDA SF presents Interaction09 Redux -...
Hello, I'm sure some of you have heard of the product Microsoft Recite. With this software you can record short notes on your mobile phone (like: "Tommorrow is...
Good question. It might use "audio hashing" techniques, at least as a starting point to narrow down the 'search'. - Google it. My understanding is this is a...
