Voice User Interface
Voice User Interface (VUI) is a technology that enables users to interact with devices, applications, or systems using spoken language and voice commands. It processes natural language input through speech recognition, interprets user intent, and provides responses via speech synthesis or other outputs. VUIs are commonly used in smart assistants, voice-controlled devices, and accessibility tools to create hands-free, intuitive user experiences.
Developers should learn VUI to build applications for smart speakers (e.g., Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant), voice-enabled IoT devices, and accessibility features that enhance usability for users with disabilities. It's essential for creating conversational AI, improving user engagement in mobile apps, and developing voice-first products in industries like automotive, healthcare, and home automation where hands-free interaction is critical.
