User interfaces (UI) are things we take for granted these days. In fact, we often don\u2019t notice it unless it\u2019s poorly executed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever been victimized by confusing kiosks or ATMs, difficult to navigate websites, or apps that don\u2019t work, then you\u2019ve experienced how bad UI can make or break the success of a product\/service.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the rise of touch screen technologies and smartphones, we\u2019re more exposed than ever to evolving UIs. A new trend, which evolved from graphic UIs (as seen in the screens we surround ourselves with), is voice UI.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

What Is A Voice User Interface?<\/h1>\n

\"Voice-User-Interface-Design\"<\/p>\n

Similar to how a graphic UI allows you to visually interact and input commands into your smartphone, a voice UI<\/strong> allows a person to interact with speech applications or programs using their voice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever heard of or talked to Siri or Cortana, you\u2019ve already interacted with a voice UI. In these cases, the voice UI was the technology that allowed you to \u201ccommand\u201d your smartphone or personal computer to do specific tasks for you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Other popular examples you may be familiar with are the fictional Computer from the Star Trek series (not-so fictional now), or home devices such as Google Home or Amazon\u2019s Alexa.<\/p>\n

According to a report by Alpine in 2017<\/a>, 1.7 million voice-first devices were shipped out to consumers in 2015. By 2016, this number had exploded to 6.5 million devices.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Technology has made voice UIs more common and popular, as being able to make commands without having to use your hands or eyes has many valuable, practical, and accessible applications.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to Amazon<\/a>, there are four trends that are contributing to the rise of voice UIs:<\/p>\n
