Summary

In this chapter, you learned how users read and process user interface text. Remembering these principles will help you create content that helps your users read and understand how to interact with your application.

When creating your user interface text, keep in mind that users scan text, starting from the top left corner and moving down the page. If you have important text or options, make sure they appear within the hotspots on the page.

When writing your text, think about user attributes, information attributes, and task attributes.

When designing your information, consider the complexity, frequency, and learnability of a task.

Examples are an effective way to help users enter data and make selections on a page.

Your text should focus on the tasks users want to complete, not on the features.

Following the usability guidelines for text will help you create text that is easy to scan and understand.
