ABSTRACT
In this paper, we extend the concepts of audio-icons to provide auditory cues, for improving navigation in Spoken Web for low-literate population in rural India. The SWAicons are a suite of contextual auditory elements, which act as acoustic clues to a user. The SWAicons are expected to increase the user perception for the content and the structure of VoiceSite.

Recommendations
A speech-in list-out approach to spoken user interfaces
HLT-NAACL-Short '04: Proceedings of HLT-NAACL 2004: Short PapersSpoken user interfaces are conventionally either dialogue-based or menu-based. In this paper we propose a third approach, in which the task of invoking responses from the system is treated as one of retrieval from the set of all possible responses. ...
A usability evaluation of the Google Home with non-native English speakers using the system usability scale
Advancements in multidisciplinary research have made voice user interfaces (VUIs) become a reality in both research and commercialisation. Although the existing research has indicated that VUIs are useful in people's daily lives (e.g., personal assistant),...
Community-oriented spoken web browser for low iiterate users
CSCW '13: Proceedings of the 2013 conference on Computer supported cooperative workHeavy penetration of mobile devices in rural areas enables access to information services to low-literate users. While connectivity solves a major issue, concepts such as browsing and searching are not intuitive to such users. This paper presents the ...
