Personal blog Assignment Three: A case study of English learning app

1. Download and use to describe the simplest and most intuitive personal first-time experience.

I've also used a lot of voice assistants, such as Siri on Apple, and Android's voicemail, and personally feel that Microsoft Cortana is the best. Because Microsoft Cortana in a variety of aspects are very humane, talk will also take tone without that kind of robot feeling, function also many such as can play idiom Solitaire and other games is very interesting.

2. In accordance with the bug definition described in section 13.1 of the Building Act, find a few functional, more serious bugs, at least 2.

5. Tip: Interview Summary

5.1. Introduce the background and needs of the interviewee (why do they want to learn English, look up dictionaries and usage, and other needs)

For lazy people, this software is very convenient, because now most people will use a mobile phone to check the words and what will not use the computer, and then mobile phone screen is very much do not want to use the keyboard typing on the phone, I personally use the 9-grid input method, enter Chinese also line, the letter will be laborious. Using the big Keyboard input button is too small to press, so this direct voice check word is very convenient.

5.2. Let the interview object use 10–30 minutes the app's function (please upload a photo to prove that the user is indeed in use, Remote interview students please let others help take photos)

Me: Send Jia Jie a message asking him what he eats this evening.

Me: Sing a song

5.3. Describe the user's use of the product process, the user's problem solved it? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the software in data volume/interface/function/accuracy? Is there a problem with the user experience?

Microsoft Cortana is very useful, but may be the cause of the iOS system, in some features, such as the phone call this problem, say to who call directly, it is best to confirm that the iOS system does not have this confirmation function, texting is a lot less function, texting can be added content, iOS system does not, for example, I want to send text messages to say a long time, if I do not say a word I want to say all the words, then I still have to type after the typing, or I will say again, not very convenient. This problem can be solved with a different system. The interface is not too beautiful, the main interface is a bit messy. There are many features, but some are not perfect. Advantage: It is more humane than other voice assistants, speak with tone. The downside is what you said earlier.
