Weinberg, Garrett, Harsham, Bret, Forlines, Clifton and Medenica, Zeljko (2010): Contextual push-to-talk: shortening voice dialogs to improve driving performance. In: Proceedings of 12th Conference on Human-computer interaction with mobile devices and services 2010. pp. 113-122.

We present a driving simulator-based evaluation of a new technique for simplifying in-vehicle device interactions and thereby improving driver safety. We show that the use of multiple, contextually linked push-to-talk buttons (Multi-PTT) shortens voice dialog duration versus the use of a conventional, single push-to-talk button (Single-PTT). This benefit comes without detriment to driving performance or visual attention to the forward roadway. Test subjects also preferred the Multi-PTT approach over the conventional approach, and reported that it imposed a lower cognitive workload.

Weinberg, Garrett (2009): Contextual push-to-talk: a new technique for reducing voice dialog duration. In: Proceedings of 11th Conference on Human-computer interaction with mobile devices and services 2009. p. 88.

We present a technique in which physical controls have both normal and voice-enabled activation styles. In the case of the latter, knowledge of which physical control was activated provides context to the speech recognition subsystem. This context would otherwise be established by one or more steps in a voice dialog initiated by a conventional, single "push-to-talk" button.
