Integrating Voice Commands for Software Modelling using UML on a Smart Board

摘要

Software modelling on a Smart board is a fairly newapproach and using the same interaction modalities as on acomputer might not be the most efficient way. The softwaremodelling process could potentially be improved by integratingvoice recognition for some of its functions. We implemented voicecommands to a software modelling tool and let 14 variouslyexperienced students test it and reflect on the possibilities ofusing this tool in the future. Our results will show that the Smartboard presents a good environment for collaborative work andthat the voice commands can eliminate the need for using akeyboard and thus making the process more efficient andinteractive.
