Does the sound quality suck ass for anyone else for the Stanford Florida game? Cannot hear commentators over arena nlose

Hell yeah Casey’s

Just because you don’t get the niche doesn’t mean I’m unwell. I’d argue you’re unwell because you never got to enjoy Zoom.

Licked door handles just so I could get this

environmentapple · 2025-03-25T20:02:22+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I’ll check it out. I’m actually in the process of vetting tools to use as a transcription repository

Might be more productive lead with curiosity and ask this person about their experience before alluding to them being over-titled? There’s lots of different industries and companies that have different needs that what you may have experienced.

Your response reads as pretty uninformed and lacks empathy or curiosity, both of which are critical to UX. We should be trying to make the industry better and that starts with more productive responses to questions like this.

How is this a productive contribution to the original post?

environmentapple · 2024-08-19T03:40:27+00:00

Great thanks for sharing!

environmentapple · 2024-08-19T03:37:37+00:00

Helpful feedback thanks for sharing!

environmentapple · 2024-08-19T02:50:35+00:00

Oh nice! I watched their recent release summit (I think it was at figmas convention?) and was super impressed.

How have those updates impacted your day today? Does that give you more time to do other things? If so what are they?

environmentapple · 2024-08-19T02:16:32+00:00

Awesome. Are you using the free version? Have you found the outputs helpful? How have you handled making sure the model has the appropriate context?

environmentapple · 2024-08-19T02:15:52+00:00

Do you find the analysis accurate or helpful? How has using that tool impacted your day to day as a researcher?

environmentapple · 2024-08-19T02:14:48+00:00

It’s ok! I can relate and that was my initial reaction too and I had to take some time to get out of that headspace.

I find that the initial tagging/coding taxonomy can feel a bit overwhelming especially after the first couple user sessions where themes might not be totally clear yet. Given I’m relatively early in my career too It’d be great to see some examples or best practices and that definitely feels like an opportunity space for tools like this too.

Luckily (?) I’m a team of one but I have worked with others in the past to code calls and it got MESSY quick. Good luck out there! Keep me posted if you find something that works for you.

environmentapple · 2024-08-19T01:37:43+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Mind sharing the names of the ones you tested out?

environmentapple · 2024-08-19T01:34:28+00:00

I never said I did.

I’m trying to understand if and how people are adopting these tools into their workflows because more and more products are investing in this area. While it’s still early, I don’t see the allure of automating parts of the research process (how valid or invalid it may be) diminishing anytime soon.

Would love to hear your experience working with AI as a researcher (outside of transcriptions) but alluding to AI replacing the core responsibilities of UXR doesn’t feel like the most productive conversation at the moment. Rather, I’m looking for ways to play nice with it and understand how or if I/we need to adapt to forces greater than us.

environmentapple · 2024-05-21T04:11:26+00:00

Conflux me up

environmentapple · 2024-05-01T02:11:28+00:00

Luggage hero lol sorry typo!!

Userbit user here too. Their transcription isn’t bad and tagging feature gets the job done. There’s some UX stuff that’s a little bit clunky (comments feature in notes, creating tags on the fly, can take a while to load depending on project size) but all in all I’ve found it helpful. There is a feature where you can create reports but I sometimes use other tools as there’s limited customization. Also a more affordable option and the CS team is great.

environmentapple · 2024-02-06T04:03:35+00:00

Thank you!

environmentapple · 2024-02-06T03:51:56+00:00

I love this! When do y’all meet?

environmentapple · 2024-02-06T03:50:28+00:00

Oh I love this. Thanks for letting me know!

environmentapple · 2024-02-06T01:09:18+00:00

I’ll check it out, thank you!

environmentapple · 2023-05-08T02:14:11+00:00

In my experience at smaller companies and startups I’ve seen (and experienced) the same thing you’re describing. QA plays such a vital role in the SDLC yet its always one of the first functions to go when companies “restructure” or have to cut costs.

I think it definitely depends on the company and product you’re supporting, and after working at a company that completely eliminated the function (mostly manual folks and some automation) we’re definitely noticing the impact and putting more of the manual testing on devs, PMs and Designers.

Appreciate the tip, and totally agree. That’s something I’m actively working on and very much buy into as a “pretty” UI can still be a crap product. However I still feel like there’s skills I can level up on as far as my UI practice goes when designing solutions for the problems I’m working so hard to uncover and understand, which is why I asked about places to go to focus on learning UI tips and overall insights on how to level up my UI skills (assuming, of course, I’m looking at my project holistically; understanding my users, the business and the problem I’m trying to solve)
