Abstract
Interaction with software systems has become second nature to most computer users, however when voice recognition is introduced, this simple procedure becomes quite complex. To reduce this complexity for spreadsheet users, the authors have developed an intelligent voice navigation system called iVoice. This paper outlines the iVoice system and details an experiment that was conducted to determine the efficiency of iVoice when compared to a leading voice recognition technology.
