Towards a quantitative analysis of audio scrolling interfaces
We present the results of a user study inspired by previous work in document navigation comparing rate and position control for navigating an audio timeline. Although interfaces for controlling playback speed (rate) are favored over playback position, we found that position control is, on average, 15--19% faster than rate control when searching for targets 90 to 100 seconds away in the audio timeline. Additional studies are being planned to further characterize audio scrolling performance with position and rate controls. Keywords Audio interfaces, audio scrolling, empirical study. ACM Classification Keywords H.5.2 [Information Interfaces and Presentation]: User Interfaces; H.5.1 [Information Interfaces and Presentation]: Multimedia Information Systems.
