A Social Network for Voice Notes (voice memo) only

Over time the means of communication has evolved. Many new means have been created. Some of which includes Video call, face to face conversation, letter writing, Phone call, Text messaging, conference call, picture sharing and Voice notes. Most of the new means of communication have been through online platform for social networking. Facebook has pictures, texts and videos, Instagram mainly focuses on pictures and videos, WeChat basically has everything and more. Then we have twitter which is purely text, with the later inclusion of videos and pictures. All of these platforms also have a direct messenger imbedded in them that allow users to send Texts, pictures, videos, Gifs, voice memos and emojis. WhatsApp's and BBM's main focus is on text direct messaging. If you take a look at all of the trends in most social network, you'll discover that most of them place emphasis on text, videos and pictures. Every other feature is an added on feature. None of them have placed major emphasis on voice messaging even tho quite a number of people enjoy sending voice notes. Although proportion of voice memos compared to text messages in most messaging app are small, we have found a large proportion with WeChat. The western world and other part of the world might be texting but WeChat which is based in china understand the benefits of voice messaging. It's faster, it retains intimacy in conversations and most of all its just easier than texting considering that typing in Chinese is not as straight forward as typing in English. 13% of the messages sent by youths are Voice messages, 16% of messages sent by any typical user are voice messages with the highest proportion coming from senior users at 22% (Statista, 2018)

The importance of voice messages over other forms of communication are many and interesting. With  phone call, whoever you're trying to reach has to be ready and available to not only listen to you but speak back to you. With Text messages, The issues are even greater, not everyone can read and write, it just takes to much time, it's easy to lie over texts, your texts can easily be misread as written words tend to have more than one interpretation, intimacy is barely present. Think about those "LOL(s)" you've written with a straight face, that should help you understand where I'm heading. Video call has similarities with phone calls, but imagine what a weak internet signal would do to that skype call with family. To many, people video calls are not something you do every time. Voice notes can make your day to day means of communication easier, you can synch schedules together and retain intimacy. It's faster and easier. For these reasons Just Talk has been created.

The uses of Just Talk extends further from Just an audio messaging app to a new age social media platform with emphasis on our voices. That is something no one has done before. This is the first time we have a platform that focuses on voice notes only. Its is a social media/networking platform for Voice notes only where all of your posts are limited to voice notes only. You have maximum of 3 minutes to express yourself in a public post or in a direct message. Not everyone likes how they sound so we included voice filters that help users change how they sound. You can monitor the number of times your uploads have been played. All private direct messages are automatically deleted after 24 hours regardless of weather you've opened them or not. A history of all your messages will remain but the messages will be long gone.


We should remember that nothing like this has ever existed before and the uses are immense. Imagine you loved sending voice notes and loved receiving them but it' not the same for your friends, every time you send them a voice note on WhatsApp or whatever media app, you always got a text back. on just talk you'll be 100 percent assured that every message you sent or received will be a voice memo (voice note) because on this app, there is not texting involved. It's 100% voice notes only. You don't Text, you just talk. If you were a motivational speaker, a pastor, a comedian, an actor or anybody, regardless of whether you have fans or followers and you want to share something important or fun. Before your options where limited to videos, pictures and texts if you had to do it on social media.  for videos you have to be well dressed probably, put your videos face on, shoot then upload, for texting you had to type the message which takes time and after you upload it, you'd have to start hoping no one has misinterpreted what you wrote. picture has similar problems with videos and texts but with voice notes it's a different ball game. In many occasions the most interest post of the day comes up right as you wake up in the morning. No need for all the charades with voice notes all you have to do is push and start recording. You don't even have to get out of bed to do that. in the future Just Talk will be integrated with your smart speakers (Siri, google voice, bixbi and so on) so you don't even have to turn on your phone if you don't want to. all you have to do is say a couple of commands and you'll be ready to go. These are only a few of many way Just Talk can change the way we do things.

So why don't you start giving Just Talk a go. Be one of the first star to be popular on this. Just as long as you remember you don't have to text, Just Talk.
