Books and digital devices are not helpful as cooking requires the use of both hands. The chef is not always able to turn the page or scroll on a screen for further instruction. Cooking videos and cooking shows are not helpful either. The culinary host may be moving too quickly for the viewer to keep up with or the viewer\u2019s eyes need to focus on their immediate task. Voice user interfaces are an excellent solution for this problem as they can dictate out loud the recipe directions at a steady pace while the cook can focus on their culinary task.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d2ndlgeoq4u3ju.cloudfront.net\/vui-virg.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"867\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d2ndlgeoq4u3ju.cloudfront.net\/2-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d2ndlgeoq4u3ju.cloudfront.net\/3-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d2ndlgeoq4u3ju.cloudfront.net\/4-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d2ndlgeoq4u3ju.cloudfront.net\/5-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d2ndlgeoq4u3ju.cloudfront.net\/6-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d2ndlgeoq4u3ju.cloudfront.net\/7-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d2ndlgeoq4u3ju.cloudfront.net\/8-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fresh out of university following a degree in graphic design and industrial design, Virginia was as optimistic as they come when she launched her career in branding.
