Can find very little substantial coverage; there are barely any mentions of this term in books or journals and those that exist are invariably passing usages of the term to describe a specific kind of interface rather than WP:SIGCOV of the topic as a whole. It doesn't seem to be notable as opposed to individual topics that would fall under this definition such as Screen reader and Virtual assistant. ― novov (t c) 10:19, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I added some references. The term also describes the "voicemail hell" offered by many call centres as a way of serving customers without getting a human involved. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 19:12, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The question is not whether a few sources which mention the term exist, but whether they are substantial enough to comprise significant coverage and support the content. Although the sources mention SUI they don't go into detail about the concept itself and none back up the definition given in the article. Two of them only include the term once. ― novov (t c) 22:29, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Is there any distinction between sonic user interfaces and voice user interfaces? Might be worth making this page a redirect to voice user interface if there isn't. 🔥HOTm̵̟͆e̷̜̓s̵̼̊s̸̜̃🔥 (talk・edits) 22:30, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to voice user interface. That is a much more commonly used term. It is unclear what the difference between a "sonic user interface" and "voice user interface" actually is, and we don't have sufficient reliable sources to justify drawing such a distinction.
