Abstract

Verbal communication is the most efficient way to communicate between humans, and yet it is not widely used in Human Computer Interactions (HCI). In this work-in-progress paper, some aspects related to the lack of success for speech-based HCI systems are firstly discussed and then, two adaptive strategies, developed by the author and currently under test, are introduced.
