We’ve been designing voice experiences for almost 20 years, for telephony, satellite navigation, home assistants, video games, and custom applications, yet browsers and screen readers are both lagging behind. It turns out that we’re much better at voice design than we are visual design, so why isn’t it possible to design voice experiences in the browser and what can we do about it?
This talk will use examples from the analogue and digital worlds to illustrate the importance of voice experience. It’ll explore the different forms of voice interface architecture, the way Text To Speech (TTS) technology has evolved over time, and techniques for elevating ordinary voice experiences into something altogether more engaging.
The talk will then consider the challenges of designing voice experiences in the browser, and what screen readers have to do with that. From there it will consider a solution, along with the failsafes and protections screen reader users should expect.
