Improving Mobile UX for AI-Generated Content

When designing mobile experiences for AI-generated text

readability should be the top priority.

Mobile screens are small,

and people read while commuting or multitasking,

so legibility and smooth scanning are critical.

Begin with concise blocks of text.

Aim for two to four sentences per paragraph

to avoid overwhelming the reader.

Dense paragraphs require constant vertical navigation

and can lead to fatigue.

Write in a natural, everyday tone.

Machine-generated text tends to be verbose or academic,

but ease of understanding matters more than elegance.

Break down technical terms

and skip acronyms unless context makes them obvious.

If a concept is complex,

structure key points as discrete items.

Lists allow faster comprehension than long blocks

and improve retention during brief scans.

The size of your body text impacts usability.

Stick to a minimum of 16 pixels for body text

Text under 16px demands manual enlargement,

which disrupts the reading flow.

Select legible sans-serif options including system-standard typefaces

that are optimized for screens.

Don’t use fancy or handwritten typefaces

that look good on desktop but become illegible on mobile.

Line spacing should be generous.

Maintain spacing at 1.5–1.7x the text size

to enhance visual separation.

Tight spacing makes text feel cramped

and harder to follow,

particularly during movement or multitasking.

Break up text with subheadings.

Even if the Automatic AI Writer for WordPress generates a continuous block of content,

organize it using well-defined subheadings.

Headings help users orient themselves

enabling quick navigation to relevant sections.

Ensure subheadings are brief and punchy

and use title case for consistency.

Minimize deeply indented or layered content.

Smartphone readers respond best to linear structure.

If content requires enumeration,

keep items between five and seven.

Opt for basic numbering or round bullets

skip decorative or multi-tiered designs.

If the AI generates a table or chart,

transform it into plain-text bullet points

only if visuals are indispensable for comprehension.

Evaluate on actual smartphones.

Emulators offer preliminary insights,

but real-world testing under varied light and motion is irreplaceable.

Encourage users to speak the content out loud

or restate the key points after a brief review.

If comprehension falters, revise aggressively.

Remember: machine-generated text rarely mimics natural speech.

Listen to how it sounds when spoken.

Does it flow like casual conversation?

Is it rhythmically smooth?

Rewrite to match human cadence.

Success isn’t just about comprehension

—it’s to be absorbed without effort.

Optimizing for mobile readability means treating the user’s attention as precious

and designing every word to honor that.
