EA: We don't know what to do for gap analysis for non-verbal.
16:12:22 [janina_]
present+ janina
16:12:45 [JohnRochford]
Lisa: Pinging me on Skype is generally good.
16:14:29 [JohnRochford]
ddahl: Techniques in issue paper on Voice XML are for everyone, not just people with cognitive disabilities.
16:16:09 [JohnRochford]
Lisa: It sounds to me we are ready to have a conversation about a gap analysis for Voice XML.
16:16:56 [ddahl]
the gap analysis for voice UI's indicates that the problem is adoption
16:17:07 [JohnRochford]
janina: I'm ready for a conversation about issue paper on Web of Things.
16:18:37 [slim]
User Preferences, Adaptable Links and Buttons Personalization, adapting content for coga personalization
16:18:41 [JohnRochford]
Lisa: Steve has said he has taken on too much. I will write to the list to ask people to help.

16:20:22 [JohnRochford]
Lisa: Link is to Voice XML issue paper.
16:20:49 [JohnRochford]
Lisa: Let's now review that issue paper.
16:21:20 [JohnRochford]
ddahl: There is no digit that requests a human.
16:22:07 [JohnRochford]
Lisa: It would be good to have a reserved word to get through to a human.
16:22:58 [JohnRochford]
ddahl: Some systems would resist using a reserved word, or certain words.
16:23:49 [JohnRochford]
ddahl: Whole industry is moving away from command-based interfaces. Are now trying to make them more natural.
16:24:40 [JohnRochford]
ddahl: It's common to use zero to get to a person.
16:25:12 [JohnRochford]
EA: It's important there is a button that can be pressed, especially for non-verbal users.
16:26:27 [JohnRochford]
Lisa: Perhaps, rather than zero, the button should be the hash tag or the star.
16:27:06 [JohnRochford]
Steve: Stars seem to have disappeared from Voice XML systems.
16:27:29 [JohnRochford]
EA: Another issue is localization.
16:28:12 [JohnRochford]
EA: What's most important is alerting, especially for emergencies.

16:28:59 [JohnRochford]
janina: Whatever is set up, someone won't be able to use it, so there must be a fallback.
16:29:10 [ea]
I agree with Janina
16:30:46 [JohnRochford]
ddahl: Not all systems are designed to have a human backup.
16:31:32 [JohnRochford]
ddahl: Perhaps there should be a requirement for a human backup.
16:32:46 [JohnRochford]
janina: If your phone is old enough, the zero is probably marked with "operator".
16:33:40 [JohnRochford]
janina: That legacy may mean zero should be the digit that requests a human.
16:33:41 [Lisa_Seeman]
q?
16:34:55 [JohnRochford]
ddahl: Websites too should have a way to reach a human.
16:35:15 [JohnRochford]
janina: Increasingly, in that regard, there are chat clients.

correction: chat forums
16:36:51 [JohnRochford]
janina: Having a human backup may be resisted because it would be admitting a system could fail.
16:37:48 [JohnRochford]
ddahl: Resistance can also be due to the expense incurred by having a human backup.
16:39:01 [neilislateagain]
I agree the resistance is more usually financial
16:39:39 [JohnRochford]
ddahl: The number of menu choices should be 3 to 4 for everyone, not just COGA users, and the option for repeating the menu should be a standard.
16:40:17 [JohnRochford]
Lisa: A standard for menu repeating should be added to the issue paper.
16:40:39 [JohnRochford]
Lisa: We do want to add that we want to standardize on zero.
16:41:51 [JohnRochford]
ddahl: Perhaps there should be a standard that repeated failures should invoke a menu with longer but more-clearly explained choices.
16:42:34 [JohnRochford]
* ddahl: Another possible standard may be that no user response invokes a human backup.
16:45:51 [JohnRochford]
Rich: WCAG may be our best strategy because of the upcoming 508 refresh in the U.S. regarding establishing best practices for Voice XML.
16:46:18 [JohnRochford]
Rich: egarding establishing best practices for Voice XML.
16:46:36 [JohnRochford]
John says "ugh".
16:47:10 [JohnRochford]
Rich: Regarding establishing best practices for Voice XML, WCAG may be our best strategy because of the upcoming 508 refresh in the U.S.

16:49:11 [JohnRochford]
ddahl: I could raise, in the voice browser group, the issue of introducing a note, from the PF group, about our proposed best practices / standards for Voice XML.
16:50:23 [JohnRochford]
ddahl: There is a big community of Voice XML usability experts that may have a different idea from using zero to get a human.
16:50:50 [JohnRochford]
Lisa: They can say what they like and don't like about it.

16:52:46 [JohnRochford]
Lisa: Janina will now talk about the Internet of Things.
16:54:36 [ea]
did they make any decision about whether the internet of things is the same as the web of things?
16:54:54 [JohnRochford]
janina: There is nothing unique about the Internet of Things. It's about the UI.
16:55:55 [JohnRochford]
janina: I don't see that we have identified anything that is unique about the IoT.
16:58:02 [JohnRochford]
Lisa: We should include Tim, the author of our IoT issue paper, in this discussion.
