Beyond ALL CAPS: The Multilingual Challenge of Google Expressive Captions

As a product designer passionate about accessible experiences, I was thrilled to discover Expressive Captions in Google Pixel's June update. After testing it extensively on my Pixel phone and diving into the inspiring behind-the-scenes interview with Angana Ghosh, I realized this feature represents something profound: the evolution from

Google「情境式字幕 Expressive Captions」從英文走向多語系的挑戰

在 Google Pixel 今年六月更新中，宣布了升級「情境式字幕 Expressive Captions 」的功能，這是一個比「即時字幕」更人性化的版本。 Google 官網是這樣介紹的 “Now captions come with all the feelings on everything live, from TV and social to video messages” 不僅要如實傳達對話內容，還表現了情感語氣、語境提示，甚至音效氛圍，讓觀者即使在沒有聲音的情境下，也能完整地感受到故事張力。舉例來說，在一場激烈的足球攻防賽直播中球評激動地評論著，傳統即時英文字幕可能只會寫出： “That’s amazing!” “Goal!” 而Expressive Captions會偵測到高昂的情緒而寫成 “THAT’S AMAZING!” “GOOOOOOOOAL!

Not Just Tool Evolution - Why Tool Democratization Will Transform UX Design Standards

Two years ago, I discovered Spline and was amazed—complex 3D modeling suddenly became accessible, with results that could be deployed directly to the web. A month ago, they launched Hana for 2D interactive design (It's amazing, too!), and it hit me: This isn't just about

設計工具進化的蝴蝶效應 - 互動設計的五個關鍵趨勢

不知道大家有沒有玩過Hana了？最近 Spline 推出了全新的 2D 互動設計軟體 Hana，試用後非常期待！期待的不只是工具好用，而是越來越覺得這類設計工具的演進，將重新定義設計師的工作邏輯和「互動設計」的標竿: 未來互動設計不再是「錦上添花」，而是「核心標配」。學生時代時，我醉心於鑽研3D建模 Rhino、Solidworks、Cinema 4D雕琢曲面、調光渲染材質，只為了把腦中那台流線飛行器的造型建出來。我追求把設計工具練到得心應手，能如實表現概念，這個磨練過程費時而迷人，但確實技術門檻不低。兩年前第一次玩 Spline 3D，驚豔於它打破了過去工業設計時代必須用三視角建模的門檻，內建的渲染效果完勝困難耗時的 Cinema 4D，做完還能直接內嵌在網頁，這是一套讓人做設計做得很開心的軟體。那時候我就持續關注這個產品的發展和社群交流。這次 Spline 又推出新作 Hana 主打互動介面的 2D 設計工具。乍看之下像是動態版 Figma，它主打的其實是「無需寫程式也能創造動態與互動體驗」

Listening Beyond Ears: How Profound Hearing Loss Shaped My Journey as an Exceptional Listener in Product Design

I was born with profound hearing loss, relying on hearing aids until I embraced cochlear implants three years ago. Surprisingly, many of my colleagues and friends often tell me I’m an exceptional active listener and they feel comfortable talking to me. During my time at Meta, I frequently spoke

Lessons from Building a Travel Assistant Voyager: Designing Conversational AI with ChatGPT

We've heard many stories about using a chatbot in customer support or the travel industry, but what is it like to create one from scratch? I recently led the design for Voyager, an AI-powered travel assistant chatbot within the Hopper app. As the third-largest online travel agency in
