How to describe your app by voice
- 1Start with one sentence
'I want an appointment booking system for my salon.' That sets the kind of project.
- 2Say who uses it
The customer books, the stylist sees her schedule, and I see the reports.
- 3List the screens
Say them one at a time, with what appears on each.
- 4Review the text before sending
Read what was written for you and correct any names and numbers that were misheard.
- 5Edit in short sentences
Once you see the result, say one change at a time: 'make the booking button bigger'.
Speech that helps and speech that wastes time
- One long, unbroken monologue
- 'Make me something nice' with no detail
- Five changes in a single breath
- Short sentences, one idea each
- Field names as you call them at work
- Real examples: 'like an invoice with three items'
When is voice better than typing?
- When you are away from the keyboard and an idea for a change comes to you.
- When you explain a long workflow you know by practice and find hard to write down.
- For people who speak Arabic fluently but type it slowly on a computer.
