Super Small Screen

(click to enlarge)

This is a design for a super small screen. I've used the example of Google Glasses, but this is applicable to any device with a small screen and microphone (for voice input).

1. The user begins the application by saying "OK Glass. Write now."

2. The app generates and displays a topic, and counts down "READY SET GO!". 

3. On GO!, the screen changes to show the topic, a countdown timer, and a small microphone animation. The animation indicates that the application is listening for user speech. The user talks and the text is automatically transcribed and printed. The user can also say "backspace" or "backword" to delete words, along with other efficiency commands.

4. When the timer reaches zero, we stop transcribing the user's text. The user can now review what he wrote. At this point, the user can say "share" to be brought to a screen where he can share his writing. He can also say "again" to start again with a new topic. He can also say "quit" to quit the application.

We address the small screen problem by using voice commands for transcription. This is allows for much greater efficiency than attempting to type on a very small screen.
