Sometimes typing isn’t convenient — you’re on the go, your hands are full, or you just want to add a personal touch to your message. ChatCript’s Voice Messages let you record audio clips and send them in any chat, whether it’s a friend conversation or a group chat.
Two Ways to Send a Voice Message
When you open the voice message option, you get two choices:
- Voice Only — Record and send just the audio. Perfect for quick voice notes, hands-free replies, or when you want your tone of voice to come through.
- Voice with Picture — Take a selfie photo first, then record your voice over it. The recipient sees your photo with a play button to hear your voice message. It’s a personal, expressive way to communicate.
How to Send a Voice Message
- Open any chat — a friend conversation or a group chat.
- Tap the attachment icon (paperclip / +) in the message input area — this reveals a row of sharing options.
- From the icons that appear, tap the microphone icon (Voice).
- Choose “Voice Only” or “Voice with Picture”.
- For Voice with Picture: the camera opens first — take a selfie, then recording starts automatically.
- For Voice Only: recording starts immediately.
- A timer shows how long you’ve been recording (maximum 2 minutes).
- Tap the stop button to finish and send.
How Voice Messages Appear in Chat
- Voice Only messages show an audio player with play/pause controls, a duration indicator, and a waveform visualisation.
- Voice with Picture messages display your selfie photo with an overlay play button. Tap the play button to hear the voice message while viewing the photo.
Works Everywhere
Voice messages work in both friend chats (1:1 conversations) and group chats. Everyone in the chat can play the voice message and see any attached photo.
Quick Tips
- Use voice messages when typing is inconvenient — walking, driving (safely!), or cooking.
- Add a selfie with Voice with Picture for a personal touch — it’s like a mini video message.
- Keep recordings concise — you have up to 2 minutes, but shorter messages are easier for recipients to listen to.
- Voice messages are great for conveying tone and emotion that text can’t capture.
