Voice-activating dialing takes longer
An article about car phones in today’s Wall Street Journal [subscription required] describes a study of 54 participants done by scientists at the Transportation Research Center in East Liberty, Ohio, and the University of Iowa. It found that voice-activated dialing actually took longer (average of 37 seconds) than punching buttons (20 seconds). The study will be presented at the annual meeting of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society.
Why would it take longer to dial by voice?
