Under review for publication in 1997 AMIA Annaul Fall Sympposium (SCAMC). encapsulated postscript format(297K) or HTML. Abstract: Speech interfaces have the potential to address the data entry bottleneck of many applications in the field of medical informatics. An experimental study evaluated the effect of perceptual structure on a multimodal speech interface for the collection of histopathology data. A perceptually structured multimodal interface, using speech and direct manipulation, was shown to increase speed and accuracy. Factors influencing user acceptance are also discussed.

Abstract: A model of complementary behavior has been proposed based on arguments that direct manipulation and speech recognition interfaces have reciprocal strengths and weaknesses. This suggests that user interface performance and acceptance may increase by adopting a multimodal approach that combines speech and direct manipulation. More theoretical work is needed in order to understand how to leverage this advantage. In this paper, a framework is presented to empirically evaluate the types of tasks that might benefit from such a multimodal interface.
