Introduction

Many platforms now offer close captioning feature making it easy for user experience. Giving a textual representation of what is being spoken and heard on any type of video format as it is happening is referred to as captioning or closed captioning. For those who are total ear loss or have hearing impairments, closed subtitles are designed expressly to help them follow along.

User Story

In order to illustrate the key audience of my product, and to help potential stakeholders gain more sympathy for the target issues, I decided to build personas. After combining the major findings from the interviews and the surveys with other research reports I gathered online, I listed the insights I had developed which could impact the future design, sorted them on the whiteboard, and built two personas: Techy Sarah and Pragmatic Mark.

Wireframing, UI, and Prototype

Wireframes

With the user stories developed and a better understanding of the live streaming framework the engineering team used, the design team was tasked in 4 weeks to establish an experience that would be design against the user stories created for the product.
