Findings from the present study show that different strategies for concatenating voice recordings significantly affect subjective preferences and memory of aurally presented information. Specifically, two different automatic telephone number announcement strategies were compared, one that concatenated individual digits and another that grouped digits by prosodic units. The results show that when natural prosodic units are preserved, the phone numbers are remembered better and the style of delivery is preferred over the strategy that uses more concatenation and does not respect natural spoken intonation. The results underscore the importance of modeling natural prosody when designing user-centric voice interfaces. |
