  1. This paper explores user preferences for sharing sensitive information via telepresence robots using six input methods: pen & paper, smartphone, robot display, speech, whisper, and silent speech. Through a crowdsourced survey and a follow-up user study, it identifies key differences in effort, convenience, privacy, security, and social acceptability. Speech is perceived as the easiest but least secure method, while pen & paper, initially favored, proves inconvenient in practice. Robot display and smartphone consistently rank as the most secure, private, and socially acceptable. Silent speech emerges as a strong alternative, offering greater privacy than other speech-based methods. These findings highlight the need for telepresence robots to support multiple input methods to accommodate diverse user needs and privacy concerns.
