Voice prototyping with Adobe Xd

To date, Xd is the only design tool that provides voice prototyping. Let's open our exercise file and click on the Prototype tab bar. UI S23 06

Select all the artboards and you will notice a blue arrow button, which is the action button, at the right side of the art board. UI S23 07

Next, focus on the side bar and from the Trigger drop down, choose Voice. For the Command, we will type Voiceover. UI S23 08

Then for voice, let’s choose Matthew and for Speech, we will copy the text that we have on the UI. Once the user will click on the button, they will be able to hear what is written. UI S23 09

Finally, let’s preview our prototype and test the voice interaction in preview mode. Once you click the button, you will hear a voice reading the text. One thing to not forget is to press the SPACEBAR key while speaking to speak with voice command. UI S23 10
