Effects of Mode on Spontaneous
English Speech in EMMI
Abstract:Results of a pilot study conducted in the ATR EMMI with English speakers are
discussed. Significant patterning with respect to mode and order of disfluency rates,
words used per goal reached, overall words used, and overall goals reached are
reported. The implications of these results for multimodal interface design are discussed
in conjunction with results from a post-experiment questionaire which elicited from the
subjects judgments as to how enjoyable each mode was; how easy each mode was to
use; and how useful each mode was.
