Audio feedback on a mobile phone for number dialing

Published:19 September 2005Publication History

ABSTRACT

Mobile phones are often used in situations in which user's attention is diverted away from the screen. Talking on the phone while walking or driving a car is easy, but dialing a number without looking at the screen or keypad is much harder. We developed two different interaction models to support eyes-free use of number dialing task. Speech and non-speech sounds were used as a substitute for visual feedback. We present prototypes of interaction models running in a mobile phone. Results from a usability study showed that audio feedback is efficient and participants preferred a simple interaction model for eyes-free use.
