Context aware voice user interface

In this thesis I address the topic of a non-visual approach for interaction on mobile, as an alternative to their existing visual displays in situations where hands free usage of the device is preferred. The current technology will be examined through existing work with special attention to its limitations, which user groups are currently using any sort of speech recognition or voice command functions and look at in which scenarios are these the most used and most desired. Then I will examine through interviews why people trust or distrust voice interactions and how they feel about the possibilities and limitations of the technology at hand, how individual users use this currently and where do they see the technology in the future. After this I will develop an alternative voice interaction concept, and validate it through a set of workshops
