Abstract

Our on-going work concerns the effectiveness of voice-based task resumption support for smartphone users. This Late-Breaking Work presents results of a prototyping exercise involving a questionnaire-based survey and a quasi-experiment. In the quasi-experiment, participants were required to perform some manual tasks in a controlled environment while being interrupted by various voice calls. The effectiveness of different prototypes of a voice call application was tested. Subjective ratings of the prototypes were collected from the participants as a usability measurement. The results reveal some diverse views on the design of the dialogue interface for the voice call application.
