TL;DR we gave a new look to Connect so users could say “¿Puedes oírme?” in any language.
Redesigned SentiVue Connect to make international calls feel local, with 60% faster onboarding and 2x quicker control discovery by replacing hidden gestures with glanceable UI.
Benchmark Research (5 Platforms):
What our stakeholders think about the project
From mock-ups to prototype
Storytelling the solution
Critical misses in SentiVue:
- No voice translation preview
- Ambiguous language confirmation
- Post-call black hole
Meeting end felt "like falling off a cliff" (no summary/recording access).
No visual confirmation of active language/translation.
Persistent meeting controls (mic, camera, captions)
Post-call recap screen (transcript link, duration)
Language selection with confirmation ("You’ll speak English, hear Spanish")
"Prototyping excellence with untapped potential"
"Research that told a compelling story"
"A textbook-perfect design system"
Priority on the prototype
Priority on the Design System
Accessible color palette and components
Future ready for scalibility
Dual subtitle styles (bold speaker/italic listener) for clarity and explicit labels
Priority fixes on Mid-Fi mockups
Voice preview panel during meeting setup
Always visible options during call with expandable menu.
Post-call recap screen (transcript link, duration, participants, languages).
End: Meeting ended confirmation + transcript link.
Call: always-visible controls
Onboarding: 4 skippable tips on key controls.
Landing: language selection to set the entire experience
Storyboard – the ideal flow showed a novice user’s journey:
Language selection felt like "a blind commitment."
Industry standards met:
