- Architecture, Interior Design, Coordination & Project Management — Voice-Based App Interaction
Background
Professional software applications often require users to navigate multiple screens, forms, menus and workflows to perform simple actions.
For architects, designers, project managers and site teams, this can be especially inconvenient when they are working on-site or need to perform actions quickly.
Voice interfaces provide an opportunity to make project software more natural and accessible.
Problem
Users should not always have to:
A user should potentially be able to say: “Create a snag for the master bathroom ceiling and assign it to the false-ceiling contractor.” The system should understand the intent and convert the voice input into an appropriate action.
Expected solution
Participants should develop a Voice-to-Command layer for project / business software.
Speech-to-Text & Speech to Command Execution
Intent Understanding
Entity Extraction
Action Execution
Voice-Based Search
Voice-Based Task Creation
Confirmation for Important Actions
Natural-Language Responses
Illustrative examples
“Show all pending client approvals.”
“Create a task for the electrical contractor.”
“Find the latest kitchen drawing.”
“What tasks are overdue for this project?”
“Create a snag for the master bathroom ceiling and remind me Wednesday.”
Key requirements
The prototype should demonstrate:
- Voice input
- Speech recognition
- Intent understanding
- Extraction of relevant information
- Execution of at least one project action
- Voice-based search or retrieval
- Confirmation where appropriate
Multilingual support may be explored as an advanced feature.
Expected outcome
The objective is to reduce the dependency on traditional clicks, forms and navigation.
