Technical detail
Speech vision clips provide a "vision" of how a completed speech user interface will sound and are an important sales and design tool. Often, our customers have difficulty realizing how speech technology will work until they hear examples of a user-system dialogue. The IBM Software Group services human factors team specializes in analyzing an enterprise's brand, creating a speech user interface design (known as a persona), and showing it in action using vision clips.
