1
you know for example i've got a live case i'm working
2
on at the moment where it says a battery operated product okay
3
and you can imagine in the packaging you need to lift
4
out the products from the packaging now depending on the lift
5
it out on where the product is actually put into the
6
packaging there's finger holes to pull this out right there is potentially the on off button okay Now,
7
during our pre-production testing, we built a number of products
8
and the operators were putting the product into the packaging
9
and they were accidentally turning on the products as they were putting into the packaging.
10
It gets sent out to the customer, the customer says, no, this product's fault is no good, they're not even charged.
11
Even when I buy my expensive phones, they come at 80% charge.
12
This is dead already.
13
User experience straight out of the box,
14
first experience is, this product's not good because we've had an accidental mischief on the way it's been operated.
15
Now, is it correct?
16
Well, the specification says it automatically turns on by the press of a button.
17
In this particular case, talk to to the customer about this, this is a good point.
18
Let's change it to a two second long press platform.
19
Okay, excellent.
20
Okay, let's build iteration, software change.
21
And we sent that out to a number of people
22
and the feedback was the product's faulty it doesn't turn on
23
okay it does all you got to do is hold it
24
for two seconds for all of our other products all i've
25
got to do is hold it for you know two milliseconds
26
or whatever and it turns on so again we discussed
27
that internally and with the customer
28
and said look this is the actual real life this is
29
the user experience okay not the specification specification is correct it's all about the user experience the user experience
30
regardless whether it comes out of the bro you know it's when you turn it on it's a short on
31
long off okay
32
so we've changed it what we've done in order to overcome the accidental press down is removed the position
33
or the orientation of how it puts in.
34
In other words, we had four finger groups, we removed two, so the only way
35
that you could actually manage to put the product into the packaging
36
and taken out of the packaging is where the on-off button was not located.
37
So that will overcome that problem and it resolved the user experience by getting
38
that feedback to how it was expected okay so this is all about specification versus real life user experience

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
