To rename "Start Listening" button to "Select hydrophone location" #327

Closed Filadora closed 9 months ago

Issue

Users were confused about the Start Listening button. Users assumed that it would take them to a random location and that they would start listening right away.

How do you feel about making it "select listening location"? Hydrophone might be a bit too specific. Happy to defer though.

@paulcretu @skanderm @Filadora I wanted to follow up on @skanderm's question regarding the buttons name before I made this change. What do we think? I think Skander might be right on this one. His suggestion adds in the action the user will be taking (ie: 'listening').

"Select listening location" sounds better to me too, as "hydrophone" is more technical and less familiar. @Filadora if I remember correctly, you had some user research with "Select hydrophone location" instead? Were the users familiar with what a hydrophone is?

@mrose15 I double-checked the previous research data, we can call it "Select listening location", there is no specific need to call it "Select hydrophone location"
