Voice Guide helps users operate an apparatus and corrects their erroneous operations. To make Voice Guide more usable, we create audio standards by studying voices, the speed at which people talk and other audio factors. You can experience the voice guidance with our facsimile model “Otakkusu”. It’s easy to understand.
Usability assessment technologies help you objectively see vague sensibilities that a human being has. By adopting the technologies, our products advance usability and our ideas to eliminate troublesome operations and chores.
