mistakes can cause user distraction and frustration. In order to explore this area, we developed a Wizard of Oz mathematics handwriting recognition tool, the WOZ Math Recognizer. The WOZ Math Recognizer supports controlled symbol and position accuracy and batch and real-time recognition modes. We present

. One technique that has been used for this kind of prototyping is Wizard of Oz (WOZ). However, this generally involves the development of one-off user and wizard interfaces. A tool that facilitates the flexible integration of LT components into WOZ experiments is desirable. In this paper we explore

Abstract—In this paper we introduce first steps of constructing a natural language dialogue system for weather information retrieval. Data for speech recognition, speech understanding and construction of the dialogue manager is being collected with Wizard-of-Oz (WOZ) experiments. Main components

describes the SketchWizard system and presents two evaluations of our approach. The first is an early feasibility study in which Wizard of Oz was used to prototype a pen-based user interface. The second is a laboratory study in which designers used SketchWizard to simulate existing pen-based interfaces

The Wizard of Oz (WOz) technique is an experimental evaluation mechanism. It allows the observation of a user operating an apparently fully functioning system whose missing services are supplemented by a hidden wizard. From our analysis of existing WOz systems, we observe that this technique

of Oz method aims to fullfil this task. In order to support the demanding task of the wizard, however an optimal wizard interface is desirable. While several wizard interfaces have been built to date, most of them were designed for designated experiments. The possibilities of a generic wizard interface

it difficult for designers to iteratively design speech UIs. SUEDE, the speech interface prototyping tool we describe in this paper, allows designers to rapidly create prompt/response speech interfaces. It offers an electronically supported Wizard of Oz (WOz) technique that captures test data, allowing

Many researchers use Wizard of Oz (WoZ) as an experimental technique, but there are methodologi-cal concerns over its use, and no comprehensive criteria on how to best employ it. We systematically review 54 WoZ experiments published in the primary HRI publication venues from 2001- 2011. Us
