AudioShelf is a voice-controlled app for audio book listening designed for individuals with visual impairments, dyslexia, and physical limitations.
01 Problem
individuals with visual impairments, dyslexia, and physical limitations needs a tool to help them get access to books while addressing the unique challenges faced by the target user group.
02 Approach
Conduct user research to understand the specific needs and challenges faced by individuals with visual impairments, dyslexia, and physical limitations when accessing books.
03 Solution
Design the Audioshelf app with a user-centric approach, offering a seamless and accessible experience for audio book consumption, catering to diverse accessibility requirements.

Understanding the user
To create an accessible and user-friendly audiobook app with an engaging user experience, a competitive audit and interviews with targeted groups were conducted, personas were created, . The research provided insights into the needs and preferences of individuals with visual impairments, dyslexia, and physical limitations.
10%
of Canada population has some level of dyslexia.
6.2M
Canadians aged 15 and over are having one or more disabilities that limited their daily activities.
1.5M
Canadians aged 15 and over are having a seeing disability.
61%
of adults who use voice assistants do so because they have difficulty using screens or keyboards due to a disability or injury.
User Flow
low-fidelity Sketches
I started by creating paper sketches to explore design ideas and quickly iterate and refine them before moving on to digital wireframes. Paper sketches provided a low-fidelity representation of the app's design, allowing me to focus on accessibility and user-friendliness for people with dyslexia and visual impairments.
Digital Wireframe
I created digital wireframes using Figma, which allowed me to translate the paper sketches into a more refined and detailed design. I focused on incorporating the research insights to ensure that the app's layout and features would address the needs of the target users.
Mockups
The low-fidelity prototype was instrumental in identifying usability issues that could be resolved before the high-fidelity mockups were developed. The high-fidelity mockups provided a more detailed representation of the final app design, allowing for a more accurate assessment of the user experience.
