voice messages

Spoken audio recordings

Voice messages are audio recordings sent in place of text, typically through messaging apps or phone systems.

The sender speaks instead of typing, and the recipient listens at their convenience.

Voice messages split the difference between a phone call and a text—more personal than written words, but asynchronous like text: I'll send you a voice message when I get the details.
