Erin Smith is a Senior Voice User Interface Designer and Usability Specialist with Syntellect (www.syntellect.com). Incidentally, people in the field use the word "vooey" - this is a pronunciation of VUI (Voice User Interface). Erin mentioned two books: "Voice User Interface Design" by Michael Cohen (www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0321185765 /informdesign). "The Art and Business of Speech Recognition: Creating the Noble Voice" by Blade Kotelly (www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0321154924/informdesign). Paul English's "get human" website is www.gethuman.com.
