The Elements of Voice First Style: A Practical Guide to Voice User Interface Design Paperback – 21 Jun. 2022

As a multimodal designer myself for the last 7 years, this has been a great refresher of all the basic concepts. The book is very comprehensive and easy to follow, with plenty of examples.

This book is a must-read for anyone looking to learn more about voice design. In addition to going in-depth about designing conversations, it talks about the overall vision of the product and the people involved in the design process. It is filled with useful tips and best practices as well as actionable takeaways. Anyone, experts included, would benefit from reading this book. I highly recommend it!

Nowadays voice applications are ubiquitous: When you are calling customer services or using Amazon’s Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple’s Siri, or Microsoft Cortana. This book is a timely publication that covers all aspects of voice applications with the authors' years of experience. I highly recommend that you read this book if you are interested in or especially if you are working on developing voice applications.

Highly recommend. This is a well-organized, practical guide to unerstanding vui design along with many helpful tips and tricks.

The media could not be loaded.  Book is handy size but the text and paragraphs are a bit small to read.

Either VUI design is exceedingly simple, or this publication failed to provide in-depth information about the subject. In addition, it is riddled with spelling errors. At $36, the price is way too steep for a short book that provides very little useful information and was clearly not edited for quality and correct use of language. This is ironic, considering that VUI design is partly about not frustrating the user and using clear and well chosen language. I am giving it 2 stars instead of 1 because I am a beginner in this field and it provided a modicum of helpful information. However, I do not recommend this book. I bought it because it was the most recent publication I could find in the VUI field, but perhaps older publications will prove more helpful. Unfortunately for me, I will have to spend more money to find out.
