A Prompt is an input that guides the model to generate the desired output. As the term Prompt has become popular with large language models, people generally refer to Text Prompts when they say Prompt. However, a Prompt can be in the form of text or voice. Voice Prompts are prompts in spoken language. Voice Prompts create new opportunities by enabling natural interactions and more intuitive, user-friendly applications.

Voice Prompts and Text Prompts guide the AI models, but there are nuances between them.

  1. Medium of Interaction: We speak faster than we type and do not require any tool. Voice Prompts can make interactions more convenient and smooth, especially when typing might be cumbersome.
  2. Natural Language Nuances: Voice Prompts allow AI models to capture natural language nuances, including tone, emphasis, and pauses. Capturing these nuances leads to more human-like interactions with the AI model and more accurate responses for some use cases, such as sentiment analysis and emotion detection.
  3. Contextual Information: Voice Prompts can naturally add contextual information, such as emotion or urgency, influencing the AI model's response and improving performance.
  4. Real-Time Interaction: Voice Prompts enable “real” real-time conversations, as people speak faster than they type, making them suitable for applications like virtual assistants and voice-enabled customer support.
  5. Variability: Developers need to consider the variability of sounds in speech while enabling Voice Prompts. Voice Prompts can vary based on accents, dialects, or speech patterns, requiring robust voice AI models.

Engineering Voice Prompts

Prompt Engineering is not limited to text-based inputs. Voice Prompts may complement Text Prompts or offer a better alternative depending on the use case where integrating natural language understanding and generation through spoken language is needed. As AI evolves, the skillful use of Voice Prompts becomes increasingly vital in crafting truly immersive and user-friendly AI experiences.
