Voice messaging is pretty common nowadays. Chat apps like WeChat and Whatsapp have their own voice messaging feature. There’s also Talkbox that works like WeChat but focuses primarily on voice. And not forgetting Bubbly which is a Twitter-like voice service. All of these voice messaging services are either bound within an app or its own social network.
But Croak.it, a startup from entrepreneurs working in India and U.S., has a more “open” approach towards voice messaging. It allows users of the internet to push and speak on any webpages that uses its API. You can record and then send the voice messages to other social networks. That’s for the web, though. Croak.it can also be incorporated in mobile apps too. One of the company’s representatives told me:
[Developers can use] the API to develop a plethora of voice based applications. For example – if you want to develop the Talking Tom Cat (popular mobile application) functionality, all you have to do is copy paste a two line script from our API and add a third line of code which changes the frequency of the voice returned to you.
There are many other ways in which you can use Croak.it too. A customer could leave a voice feedback to express him or herself better. Blogs like ours can perhaps have voice comments one day. It’s a simple idea but maybe workable. You can catch the video below to learn more or head over to Croak.it to start “croaking.” Let us know what you think too.
