We performed an exploratory study to examine the effects of speech-enabled input on an imagery analysis and annotation task. We added speech to an information fusion system to allow for hands-free annotation in order to examine the effect on EFFICIENCY, QUALITY, TASK SUCCESS, and USER SATISFACTION. We hypothesized that speech recognition could be a cognition-enabling technology by reducing the cognitive load of instrument manipulation and freeing up cognitive resources for the task at hand.
