The era of designing for voice interaction
Voice assistants and smart speakers have become an integral part of our daily lives. They are now a commonplace, as they provide us with convenience and efficiency that was once unthinkable. However, designing for voice interaction is a relatively new area for UX designers. The approach to designing for voice-based interactions is quite different from traditional design practices. This article will explore some of the ways in which UX designers can design for voice-based interactions.
- Consider the User’s Context
When designing for voice interactions, it is important to consider the user’s context. This includes their environment, the device they are using, and their reason for using voice interactions. For example, a user may use voice interactions in a noisy environment where touch-based interactions are not possible. Designers should keep these factors in mind and design for a seamless and convenient user experience.
2. Use Simple and Clear Language
Voice interactions rely heavily on language. Designers must use simple and clear language to ensure that users can easily understand and respond to prompts. The use of jargon or complex language may confuse users and lead to frustration.
3. Design Conversational Flows
