Mobile Voice Query Reformulation by Visually Impaired People
Pages 519 - 522
Abstract
Voice search has the potential to assist people who cannot look at their device, whether because of a particular situation like driving, a device that does not have a visual interface, or for people who are visually impaired. This study will compare the mobile query reformulation patterns of visually impaired and sighted people using a voice user interface. Query reformulation is a cognitively demanding stage in the information search process and has been studied with sighted users and, to a limited extent, with visually impaired people, but comparative data is needed to explore the differences between these two groups in terms of their interactions patterns and the potential effects of voice query reformulation on task completion.
