Google| how words can make your product stand out

UX writing 是一个容易被忽略的地方, 就连Google 的 UX Writing 小组今年也是第一次登上Google I/O , 但40分钟的lecture带来了不少有启发性的东西。 APP上的每一个字词都是有所斟酌的,不仅仅要让用户理解整个界面,同时也要传递出整个APP的调性。

Crafting & development of all product messaging .

UX writing principles (what you say )+ Brand voice (How you say it )

Best practices

将后台语言阐释给普通用户,如何让语言有感情。

Clear

去掉专业术语

Eg: 登陆不成功提示L Failure : An authentication error has occurred => Sign - in Error : A Sign-in error has occurred.

清晰不代表要请准, 只要你的典型用户能够明白就行。

注意动词

Sign - in Error : A Sign-in error has occurred. = > Sign - in Error : You entered an incorrect password .

注意用户可以采取的动作,而不是什么功能。

Concise

Economical:每一个单词都要有用处。

不一定一定需要Header。 有用再放,不要为了设计为了控件将内容硬塞进去。 Sign - in Error : You entered an incorrect password . = > You entered an incorrect password

Frontloading

Putting what’s most important first : 将最重要的内容放在最前面。

因为我没不会阅读屏幕上的每一字,我们是扫读。F-shaped .

You entered an incorrect password = > Wrong password

Useful

内容帮助用户进行下一步。

CTA : Call to action (text that spurs the user’s next step ) Wrong password , OK = > Wrong password , Try Again / Recover Password

Brand voice

Style that guides your writing & reflects your product’s character. 思考产品的关键功能是什么让你的产品区别于其他产品。

Wrong password = > That password doesn’t look right

Android pay : Unique brand voice

Start with brand principles

Product dating profile :

Name : Interests : Friends say I am :

Andriod pay brand voice :

What these principles will sound like when writing = writing guidelines .

Fresh

Snappy & exciting.

Empathic

helpful & reassuring

Approachable

去掉形式和术语

Brand principles + Writing guidelines = your product’s voice

Tone

How your voice sounds in different contexts. 在不同场景下的用户

Think about like a person 。 听上去要像人的语气

建立Journey map , 在不同的阶段确保在整个用户体验过程中,语气保持一致。

思考用户体验地图中用户同APP接触的关键触点,用户的目标,用户当时的感受,以及你希望他们的感受如何。

Eg:

A faster way to pay => Everything you need to speed through check out

用A/B test 去决定用哪个方案。
