Common-voice: UX: Icon for re-record in review looks like "close".

Created on 18 Jul 2017  ·  6Comments  ·  Source: mozilla/common-voice

Problem: The ✕ icon for "re-record" the review view, where you can re-listen and submit your recordings looks like "delete" or "close".

Solution:

(related to #278 since it can be assumed that ✕ allows to exclude the recording from the submission.)

you can use this gh issue to collaborate and arrive at a good solution.

…here my visualized suggestions:

  1. Change the icons like this:

grafik

  1. Change the text on top of the row of Play from Play/Stop to Play/Pause (since that reflects its behavior)

  2. Change the back arrow in the record step:

    Currently it looks like:
    grafik

It should look like:
grafik

So the arrow looks less like the "redo" for the current step. But feel free to make the arrow a bit fatter, this was the first one I found.

I dont see an assignee on this issue.
Looking to contribute to UX for this project.
Can I take this up?

Thanks

Sounds great @ruchita20! Unfortunately, I don't have much input into how to fix this issue except to say that I agree this is a problem. I know @jdittrich is also a UX expert, so perhaps you can use this gh issue to collaborate and arrive at a good solution. I'll be here if you need me, and I'll make sure your work makes it in the final product 👍

Thanks for your UX/UI input here @jdittrich! We're currently assessing and aggregating updates for our next round of UX iteration and will indeed be including your language and icon suggestions. (Also note, the back arrow may change a bit, but will be an icon that is distinct from 'redo' in previous screens.) Cheers and thanks again.

Working on this one :)

This is being handled in various broken out bugs. Since @elahmo fixed the undo arrow in https://github.com/mozilla/voice-web/commit/0cbfa132d55575d975fea3756d48081bec70966c, we will close this one.
