Vocaroo

Unfortunately repeated attempt to upload my video to YouTube has caused me to burn through all my allowed bandwidth, meaning my Internet is so slow it's almost impossible to use, which has not only killed my attempts at searching around for sites for Rollyo, but also has killed my attempts to do research for another class.

However, while it still works, I would like to tell you all about Vocaroo. This will not be a formal evaluation, because the website doesn't have enough information to do so and the service itself is still new and under development. The disclaimer page warns people not to use this service for anything very important.

Also the site itself is quite informal, the person who made it has a sense of humour.

Vocaroo is a web-based service designed to record and send voice messages over the Internet. It is very simple to use and all you need is a microphone (or, a pair of headphones, if you need to send a message right now but don't have access to a mic).

The site itself is very simple and clean, the help and information pages offer FAQ answers and general information for using Vocaroo. You can contact the Webmaster, donate and even pay for an express version of Vocaroo.

Here is a little toy that Vocaroo offers, it allows you to record and playback your voice. Please note that messages are not saved or downloadable.

  1. So you mean you send your OWN voice over the internet??? To me, that is like uploading a YouTube video of yourself - something I would only do if my grades depended on it!
    BTW I did take a look at the site and you are right - there's not much there!

  2. Sounds interesting but I couldn't get it to work! May be blocked by the POly.

  3. This site obviously operates on the less is more principle. It has one of the most uncluttered main pages I have seen!

  4. This is really interesting. I have never heard of being able to send a recorded voice clip around the internet.
