Abstract

Since voice-user interfaces (VUI) are becoming an attractive tool for more intuitive user interactions, this study proposes a between-subject experiment in which variations in voice characteristics (i.e., voice gender and manner) of VUI are examined as key determinants of user perceptions. This study predicts that the voice gender (male vs. female) and manner (calm vs. exuberant) are likely to have significant effects on psychological and behavior outcomes, including credibility and trustworthiness of information delivered via VUI.
