Abstract
Time and money constraints are often an issue when selecting a method for testing user interface designs. The Wizard of Oz technique allows usability practitioners to re-create speech user interfaces without building a hi-fidelity prototype. Wizard of Oz in a Structured Expert Review (WiSER) leverages the advantages of Wizard of Oz by combining it with aspects of the Cognitive Walkthrough method. The result is a method which can be efficiently implemented to test speech user interfaces by using usability practitioners as test participants and the designer as the wizard. The participant is presented with a set of tasks to complete using the speech user interface. After each task, problem areas are discussed and design alternatives, explored; modified versions of the two questions identified by Spencer [2000] are addressed for each problem area. This paper covers a direct comparison of WiSER to an online usability test in which both tests are executed on a voice dialer application.
