Auditory User Interfaces Toward The Speaking Computer

Auditory User Interfaces: Toward The Speaking Computer Describes A Speech-enabling Approach That Separates Computation From The User Interface And Integrates Speech Into The Human-computer Interaction. The Auditory User Interface (aui) Works Directly With The Computational Core Of The Application, The Same As The Graphical User Interface. The Authors Approach Is Implemented In Two Large Systems, Aster - A Computing System That Produces High-quality Interactive Aural Renderings Of Electronic Documents - And Emacspeak - A Fully-fledged Speech Interface To Workstations, Including Fluent Spoken Access To The World Wide Web And Many Desktop Applications.
