Command Line Interfaces
1. Advantages
  1. O - Requires very little memory
  2. O - Less processing time
  3. O - Can be used for simple to complex instructions
  4. O - No restrictions to commands in pre-determined lists
  5. O - takes little time if user is a pro
2. Disadvantages
  1. X - No margin for spelling errors
  2. X - User needs to memorise commands
  3. X - Time consuming to enter lots of data
3. Used for complex tasks such as configuring embedded systems and things not usually needing an interface
4. Uses prompts to aid user know what to type and feedback after successful actions
5. User types commands
Menus/Submenus
1. Advantages
  1. O - Users presented with commands rather than memorising

  1. O - Simple to understand due to various prompts such as pictures, icons and menus
  2. O - More intuitive and can be tailored to users' mental models
  3. O - Good for visual learners.
2. Disadvantages
  1. X- Uses a lot of memory

3. Contains some elements of WIMP but not necessarily all
4. Very common
Natural Language
1. Advantages
  1. O - No learnt commands
  2. O - Voice can be quicker than typing
  3. O- Can be used with no hands available.
2. Disadvantages
  1. X - More processing needed to pick key words from complex sentences
  2. X - Need good voice recognition to process different voices
  3. X - Difficult to give complex computer based commands
3. Uses everyday language rather than specific computer based commands
4. Computer responds in everyday, conversational language.
5. e.g. voice command interfaces, siri
Form dialogue
1. Advantages
  1. O - Clear prompts means less likely to make mistakes
  2. O - Controls used to aid selection
  3. O - Can be validated
  4. O - New options given of removed based on previous responses
  5. O - Can give default options
2. Disadvantages
  1. X - Restrictions to options on screen
  2. X - A lot of data entry may be frustrating
  3. X - May accidentally leave given default options unchanged
