Perception doesn\u2019t necessarily match reality when it comes to today\u2019s voice user interfaces. In this talk, we chart a path from today\u2019s command-and-control assistants towards a future of more adaptive, inclusive, humane VUI for all. Cheryl is Senior Design Manager for the C+E Admin Experience team and is exploring conversational UI for Azure admins. Her experience with VUI design stretches back over a decade, for voice user interfaces including Windows Automotive, Cortana, the Nintendo DS, Amazon\u2019s Alexa platform, and the Echo Look.<\/p>\n
Far from HAL or Her, the current generation of voice interfaces represents an incredibly important step forward – but the journey to the next generation of experiences is far from over. Cheryl draws from her extensive experience to highlight several key shortcomings of today\u2019s voice interfaces. As we examine those shortcomings, we will discover important opportunities for today\u2019s product teams. These opportunities impact all disciplines \u2013 AI, design, product management and business development.<\/p>\n
This is an expanded version of Cheryl\u2019s \u201cFuture of Voice\u201d talk that premiered in October at Webdagene 2017. For additional background content, start with Cheryl\u2019s post on VUI design for the Microsoft Design blog on Medium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
