Conversation & Dialogue

Voice User Interface (VUI)

/ voice-user-interface-vui /

An interface operated by speech. VUI design covers prompts, error recovery, and conversational affordances.

Why it matters

VUI design is invisible UX: prompts, confirmations, and error recovery scripted for the ear. Bad VUI makes good models unusable.
