Abstract

User assistance systems can be extended to enable multimodal access to user assistance material. Implementing multimodal user assistance introduces new considerations with respect to authoring and storage of assistance material, transformation of assistance material for effective presentation on a range of devices, and user interaction issues. We describe an implementation of a multimodal interface to enable access to a DITA user assistance repository.
