Abstract
In this paper, we present a set of optimizations for a spoken language
interface for mobile devices that can improve the recognition accuracy and user
interaction experience. A comparison between a speech and a graphical
interface, when used to accomplish the same task, is provided. The implications
of developing a spoken language interface and integrating speech recognition
and text-to-speech modules for European Portuguese in a mobile device, are
also discussed. The paper focuses in the speech recognition module and in an
algorithm for name matching optimization that provides the user with a more
comfortable interaction with the device. Usability evaluation trials have shown
that spoken language interfaces can provide an easier and more efficient use of
the device, especially within a community of users less experienced in handling
mobile devices
