Visualization of spoken dialogue systems for demonstration, debugging and tutoring

Jaakko Hakulinen, Markku Turunen, Esa-Pekka Salonen

Graphical elements have been found very useful when spoken dialogue systems are developed and demonstrated. However, most of the spoken dialogue systems are designed for speech-only interaction and are very hard to extent to contain graphical elements. We introduce a general model to visualize speech interfaces. Based on the model we present an implemented visualization framework, and several example visualizations for demonstrations, debugging, and interactive tutoring of speech applications.
