Voice user interface
What is a voice user interface (VUI)?
A voice user interface lets you control a computer or device by talking to it out loud instead of typing or tapping. You speak voice commands, and the device understands what you said.
Voice user interface examples
Some examples of voice user interfaces include:
- Siri, Alexa and Google assistants you can talk to
- Voice controls in cars for directions, music, texts
- Smart home devices you control by speaking
- Phone systems that understand speech
- Software that writes down what you say out loud
More and more devices are adding voice interfaces. This allows you to interact using just your voice in an easy, natural way.
