Description
New ways of interacting with software mean rethinking how we develop our associated user assistance. This session, “Touch, Voice, and Gestures: How to Craft Your User Assistance to Accommodate a Variety of Interaction Types,” is a guide for appropriate language choices to use for emerging interaction types like touch, voice, and hand gestures. Topics include device-specific instructions using conditional text, micro-concise instructions for small screens, writing for first user experience, flat navigation, and options for voice support. This session applies to both mobile platforms and the emerging use with desktop systems.
