Speech-based interaction for map editing on mobile devices: a scenario-based study

Abstract

Speech-based interfaces on mobile phones are growing in popularity, yet mostly limited to helping users retrieve information. There is an untapped potential for using speech to help users contribute new information. This work discusses opportunities and challenges of map editing on mobile devices. It also presents results from a study (N=20) that evaluated 11 speech-based commands for map data enriching and urban fault reporting on mobile devices. Feedback from the users indicated that speech-based information editing is feasible: usability was rated as `good', while user experience ratings produced slightly mitigated results.
