Voice UX - Insights from the blind side: designing richer voice experiences for all

2018 is the year where audio and voice interfaces are finally emerging and taking prominence as viable alternatives and complements to screen based interactions. In this experiential session you will be inspired to consider voice interface design from a fresh and expanded perspective.

As we all become more accustomed to voice interactions, our expectations for more complex activities and more personalised interfaces are inevitable. Drawing on learnings from information-rich voice applications designed for, and with input from, blind users, Tim will share insights and his unique understandings around elegant and efficient voice experience design.

A solid grounding in speech and voice output is crucial for great voice application design. Tim will explore and demonstrate the power of the human voice and how it can be harnessed to create an increased sense of connection and inclusion with users.

Tim will highlight the fundamental differences between screen based and voice-first application design. Tim will conclude the session with his top suggestions for creating intuitive, natural-sounding voice interfaces and applications that speak for themselves.
