چکیده
This paper presents the results of a study comparing the use of auditory icons, earcons and speech in an audio only interface for a digital talking book player.

Results suggest the use of auditory icons combined with speech whenever necessary, in detriment to the use of earcons, for applications sharing the characteristics of digital talking book players.
