Title
Error Rate in Multimodal Mobility Systems
Abstract
In this paper we present the results of a trial undertaken with a platform that supports multimodal applications for 3G cellular phones. A novel aspect of our work is multimodal interaction capable of supporting natural language speech and text data entry. The focus of our research is to understand user behavior in response to errors encountered whilst interacting with mobile applications that furnish a multimodal user interface. We observed an increase in the user's propensity to alternate between UI modes when encountering errors, as well as increased termination rates even though an alternative mode was available to complete tasks. Given the multiplicity of user interfaces, mutlimodal solutions provide a novel way to improve user response to errors. By analyzing how users respond to errors in multimodal applications we wish to develop a capability for error self-recovery in order to reduce the termination rate upon error. This paper presents the components of our platform and key results of our trial.
