Ergonomics of human-system interaction - Part 154: Interactive voice response (IVR) applications (ISO 9241-154:2013)
This part of ISO 9241 gives guidance on, and requirements for, the user interface design of interactive voice response (IVR) applications. It covers both IVR systems that employ touchtone input and those using automated speech recognition (ASR) as the input mechanism. It is equally applicable to cases in which the caller or the IVR system itself (e.g. in some telemarketing applications) initiates the call. This part of ISO 9241 is intended to be used together with ISO/IEC 13714. NOTE Its scope is thus more general than that of ISO/IEC 13714, which is specific to voice messaging systems.
Ergonomie der Mensch-System-Interaktion - Teil 154: Dialogführung mittels Sprachdialogsystemen (ISO 9241-154:2013)
Dieser Teil der ISO 9241 enthält Festlegungen und Anforderungen zur Gestaltung von Benutzungsschnittstellen von Sprach¬dialogsystemen. Er behandelt sowohl Sprachdialogsysteme die das Tonwahlverfahren verwenden sowie die Systeme, die automatische Spracherkennung als Eingabeform verwenden. Er gilt gleichermaßen für Falle, in denen der Benutzer oder das Sprachdialogsystem selbst (z.B. in einigen Fernsehmarketinganwendungen) den Anruf initiieren.
Dieser Teil der ISO 9241 ist zur gemeinsamen Anwendung mit ISO/IEC 13714 vorgesehen.
ANMERKUNG Dieser Anwendungsbereich ist daher allgemeiner als der von ISO/IEC 13714, die spezifisch für Mitteilungsanwendungen.
Ergonomie de l'interaction homme-système - Partie 154: Applications de réponse vocale interactive (RVI) (ISO 9241-154:2013)
L'ISO 9241-154:2013 présente des recommandations et des exigences relatives à la conception de l'interface utilisateur des applications de serveur vocal interactif (SVI). Elle couvre à la fois les systèmes SVI qui utilisent l'entrée de touches et ceux utilisant la reconnaissance automatisée de la parole (RAP) comme un mécanisme d'entrée. Elle est également applicable aux cas où l'appelant ou le système SVI lui-même (par exemple, dans certaines applications de télémarketing) lance l'appel. Elle est destinée à être utilisée conjointement avec l'ISO/CEI 13714.
Ergonomija medsebojnega vpliva človek-sistem - 154. del: Interaktivne aplikacije za glasovni odziv (ISO 9241-154:2013)
Ta del standarda ISO 9241 vsebuje navodila in zahteve za izdelavo uporabniškega vmesnika interaktivnih aplikacij za glasovni odziv (IVR). Zajema interaktivne sisteme za glasovni odziv s tonskim vnašanjem in sisteme, ki za vnos uporabljajo samodejno prepoznavanje govora (ASR). Enako se uporablja za primere, v katerih klic opravi klicatelj ali sam interaktivni sistem za glasovni odziv (npr. v nekaterih telemarketinških aplikacijah). Ta del standarda ISO 9241 je namenjen za uporabo skupaj s standardom ISO/IEC 13714. OPOMBA Področje uporabe tega standarda je tako bolj splošno od področja uporabe standarda ISO/IEC 13714, ki se uporablja posebej za sisteme glasovnega sporočanja.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 9241-154 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics, Subcommittee SC 4,
Ergonomics of human–system interaction.

ISO 9241-154:2013(E)
Introduction
This part of ISO 9241 contains provisions specific to interactive voice response (IVR) systems, which
may involve a combination of voice technologies, but are distinguished by the use of the telephone as the
information transfer mechanism. These provisions assume no visual displays of information to the user
beyond the labels on the telephone’s keypad, with the notable exception of text telephones (TTYs), which
have a visual feedback display.
Although it is extremely important that IVR user interface designers take into account the cultural
and linguistic aspects of the user interface that impact the intended user population, these aspects are
beyond the scope of this part of ISO 9241 and are not addressed in this part of ISO 9241 . Similarly, because
automatic speech recognition (ASR) performs differently for different languages and the technology
continues to improve, it is beyond the scope of this document to provide detailed provisions on ASR user
interface design generally. Rather, this part of ISO 9241 focuses on the design of IVR dialogues and
discusses only those ASR user interface design issues that impact dialogue design.
Many current IVR systems pose significant accessibility challenges to callers with disabilities. Some of
the provisions in this part of ISO 9241 were developed specifically to accommodate callers with special
needs, particularly those who are deaf or who have hearing impairments.
The provisions in this document are intended to be compatible with ISO/IEC 13714.
Interactive voice response (IVR) systems became a common means of delivering customer service
in the late 1980s. These systems are designed to reduce or eliminate the need for human-in-the-loop
customer support by automating many of the functions that human customer service representatives
typically provide over the telephone with respect to processing of customer transactions. Thus, users
(i.e. callers) can now engage in such activities as checking train schedules, ordering a book or reporting
problems with their television cable service by interacting with an IVR system. In addition, IVRs often
automate call-routing functions so that the caller can be connected with the right assistance to handle
their specific request.
This part of ISO 9241 is concerned with the design of the human–IVR system dialogue and related topics.
As shown in Figure 1, callers typically interact with the IVR system thr
