There is a new trend sweeping the social media — adding voice to selfies to create Voxies.
In fact, people like Priyanka Chopra who used a speaking photo to thank her fans after winning the People’s Choice Awards and Amitabh Bachchan who pasted a ‘speaking poster’ of his film, Wazir, were using a tool called VoxWeb created by IIT Kanpur alumnus Yash Mishra that went live worldwide recently.
With the app available on Android and iOS, you can take a picture, add up to 11 seconds of voice notes — in lieu of text caption — and share it with anyone.
The resultant ‘speaking pic’ is displayed as an image underlined in orange.
This orange line helps the recipient identify speaking pictures which can be heard upon tapping the pic. The VoxWeb app also has a four second selfie timer which can help you capture the context of the selfie — like a live music concert.
