Standard and Short Dialogs: Notes

Until now, all voice recognition systems have suffered from the drawback of appearing complicated to inexperienced users (beginners). The difficulties were due to the fact that the user was unaware of how many voice commands were available, or failed to enunciate the commands correctly and completely.

Experienced users (experts) on the other hand, had the advantage of knowing how to use the system quickly by using short commands.

In order to ensure that users in both these groups can use the system to their satisfaction, in the F01/F02 it is possible to select a "Standard" dialog for inexperienced users or a "Short" dialog for experts.

The "Standard" dialog provides detailed information while operation is in progress, but the "Short" dialog dispenses with this information for the sake of rapidity.

Example:

Standard dialog: 

SYSTEM: "Say the name of a place"

USER: "Munich"- shows up on the display

SYSTEM: "Did you mean "Munich"?"

USER: "Yes"

Short dialog: 

SYSTEM: "Place"

USER: "Munich"- shows up on the display

SYSTEM: "Did you mean "Munich"?"

USER: "Yes"

The dialog setting can be toggled between standard and short by selecting "Settings" "Language/units".
