As part of this week’s 52WoC project, I decided to give VoiceThread a try since I wanted to experiment with photos + voice + text.
In this Voicethread post, I shared 9 floral photos that I took earlier in the year. I then added some “sayings” that I wrote as personal reminders – my ‘notes to self’.
My verdict on VoiceThread? It’s a nice app to do multimedia work. It’s especially great that you can use your Flickr or Facebook to import some photos. You can also add ‘comments’ on the photos using text, voice (via phone, webcam or mic), or doodles.
Of course, like any service, it has some downsides and limitations. I keep wishing I can add text in a different way, or add music, etc.
But, overall, it’s a nice service.
Anyway, we’ll see if “Voice Notes from the Studio” can be a regular feature here at S.

Hmmm. You’ve given me ideas for future posts. I’ll have to sit this week out, but I’ll look for a way to incorporate an audio post in the future when it’s a good fit. I have some interviews in mind.

That’s great, Lynn. Too bad you can’t join this week, but looking forward to your future audio posts.

Lol, that was fun, even though it took ages for each one to come through. I still haven’t got my mic set up on this computer, so I won’t be able to join this one, either. I may use the idea, though, for something on my blog at some point. Thanks for letting me know how I could do it, though. ;

Heather: Glad you stuck it out even if it took a while. Thanks! You can still do some audio posts using your phone. The Utterz one even has Aussie numbers to call.
