Futuristic applications of voice user interference on child language development

Abstract

Voice User Interface (VUI) is an Artificial Intelligence tool that enables children to access a computing device and complete tasks through speech instead of using learning methods. VUI, a form of AI (Artificial Intelligence), takes a sound that children articulate in a spoken statement and use intent recognition to understand the action required to fulfill the child’s spoken request. The design and features of VUI have been developed to increase the interpersonal level of communication with users and, to some degree, make voice assistants behave like humans. The features that have been created, have been shaped in such a way as to improve learning efficacy and ease of use for early childhood learning development. The current available VUIs in the market have been geared to provide children with a simpler way to interact with access to educational technology learning tools. The research posits that there are two primary uses of VUI in childhood learning development exploration, whereby children use VUI as a form of entertainment and information seeking, and children use VUI to develop various knowledge facets. For children in the early language stages currently using language to communicate, VUI language stimulation can help children to engage in continuous communication processes, use and understand various words, and successfully complete more complex sentences. The research seeks to state the problems associated with VUI and the standard opinions based on research associated with the problem. Moreover, the study seeks to articulate the hypothesis that VUI is an effective tool for early childhood language learning through the use of peer-reviewed evidence and examples, to the hypothesis, to generate new and innovative perspectives.
