Universal Access in Human-Computer Interaction. Applications and Services, 4th International Conference on Universal Access in Human-Computer Interaction, UAHCI 2007 Held as Part of HCI International 2007 Beijing, China, July 22-27, 2007 Proceedings, Part July 22-27, 2007, Beijing, China. pp. 224-233.

Bearne, Mike, Jones, Sara, Hewitt, Jill and Sapsford-Francis, John (1996): Providing public access to information in complex and weakly structured domains: A 3-layered model for hypermedia information systems. In New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia, 2 pp. 69-87.

“Advice systems are defined as information systems which present users with both information and more subjective expert advice about complex and weakly structured domains. This paper presents a Generic Advice System Architecture (GASA) to assist in developing such systems. It describes how the architecture was used in developing the SPIRE system, whose aim is to provide advice and information which will assist the integration of students with disabilities into higher education. The paper discusses the way in which the GASA addresses key issues in the development of hypermedia advice systems including the need to make such systems available to users with little training and limited knowledge of the domain; the requirement to support diverse information exploration strategies; the provision of purely 'point and select' access; and the minimisation of user disorientation and cognitive overhead.”

1994

Brownsey, K., Zajicek, Mary and Hewitt, Jill (1994): Structure for User-Oriented Dialogues in Computer-Aided Telephony. In Interacting with Computers, 6 (4) pp. 433-449.

“Members of The Speech Project, at Oxford Brookes University, have been experimenting with alternative structures for 'goal-seeking' dialogues. A dialogue prototyping system has been developed that can instantiate different dialogue structures kept on file. These become active after being installed using dynamic data structures. Input is achieved using speech recognition for a small range of words, and output is in the form of pre-recorded speech messages. The dialogues thus created employ a new approach, and replace the usual menu-structure with a simpler question-answer process. The nature of dialogues using computer aided telephony is analysed, and then the work done by members of The Speech Project on an alternative approach using a simpler dialogue structure is described.”

1993

Hewitt, Jill and Zajicek, Mary (1993): Speech Database Management for an Intelligent Telephone Answering System. In: Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction - Poster Sessions: Abridged Proceedings 1993. p. 282.

1991

Edit | Del

Hewitt, Jill, Monaghan, James and Cheepen, Christine (1991): A Predictive Reference Model for Use in a Speech Driven Word Processing System. In: Diaper, Dan and Hammond, Nick (eds.) Proceedings of the Sixth Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers VI August 20-23, 1991, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK. pp. 281-293.

“This paper explores the techniques necessary to build a domain specific predictive reference model which can be used to improve the performance of a speech recognition interface to a word processor. It draws on the expertise of Speech and Language Technology Group members in task analysis, linguistic analysis and data structure design. The results of initial evaluations and analysis are presented and the implications for the model design are discussed.”

Sidhu, Charanjit K., Hewitt, Jill, Watkinson, Neil and Furner, Stephen (1991): User Centred Requirements Modelling for a Multi-User Spreadsheet. In: Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction 1991. pp. 455-459.

“Since their introduction, electronic spreadsheets have become a very popular tool in the office environment. This paper describes the application of the Generic Office Reference Model to carry out requirements capture for the introduction of spreadsheets in a teleconferencing environment.”

1990

Edit | Del

Hewitt, Jill, Hobson, John and Sapsford-Francis, John (1990): An Application of Task Analysis to the Development of a Generic Office Reference Model. In: Diaper, Dan, Gilmore, David J., Cockton, Gilbert and Shackel, Brian (eds.) INTERACT 90 - 3rd IFIP International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction August 27-31, 1990, Cambridge, UK. pp. 265-269.

“The roles of task analysis in the software engineering life cycle are considered, and a method is described which is suitable for capturing the high level communication tasks in offices. The contribution of this method to the building of a generic office model and its role in the generation of scenarios for future early requirements analysis are discussed.”

Zajicek, Mary and Hewitt, Jill (1990): An Investigation into the Use of Error Recovery Dialogues in a User Interface Management System for Speech Recognition. In: Diaper, Dan, Gilmore, David J., Cockton, Gilbert and Shackel, Brian (eds.) INTERACT 90 - 3rd IFIP International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction August 27-31, 1990, Cambridge, UK. pp. 755-760.

“Experiments were carried out to assess new users' attitudes to different versions of a speech input word processing system providing different error recovery strategies. While they preferred a simple error message to none at all, a more complex recovery dialogue lead to decreased satisfaction with the system. This paper describes the experiments carried out and explores possible reasons for the results.”

1988

Edit | Del

Hewitt, Jill and Furner, Stephen (1988): Text Processing by Speech: Dialogue Design and Usability Issues in the Provision of a System for Disabled Users. In: Jones, Dylan M. and Winder, R. (eds.) Proceedings of the Fourth Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers IV August 5-9, 1988, University of Manchester, UK. pp. 529-544.

“Commercial speech recognition systems are available as 'add-on' units for popular office micro-computers. A typical office system has been employed to provide a 'transparent' interface to an ordinary text processing package so that it can be used by the disabled. This paper describes the prototyping carried out to develop the dialogue offered by the system as a result of addressing its user performance characteristics.”
