Abstract
A computer program for outputting a user interface to a computer. The computer outputs a voice message and the user interface consecutively informs a progress of a process executed by the computer. The program determines whether or not the user interface consecutively informs the progress of another process with a voice message. A first user interface consecutively informs the progress of the specific process with a first voice message that includes start, ongoing, and end messages, if the first determining step determines that the user interface does not consecutively inform the progress of the another process with the voice message. A second user interface informs the progress of the specific process with a second voice message that includes start and end messages while omitting the ongoing message, if the first determining step determines that the user interface consecutively informs the progress of the another process with the voice message.
