Twitter has a new feature they are testing called, tweeting with your voice.
Understanding that sometimes you need just the right inflection on a word or phrase, Twitter is testing out tweeting with your voice that will allow you 140 seconds of audio.
Voice tweets will look similar to a video on your timeline but instead you will see the person’s profile picture surrounded by pulsing circles. .
The process to sending a voice tweet is similar to sharing a standard one: open the composer and tap a new ‘wavelength’ icon. Users will then see their profile photos with a record button at the bottom of the screen to initiate a voice memo. Each audio tweet can be a maximum of 140 seconds. Once the time limit is reached, a new voice tweet will start automatically in order to generate a thread. Threads can contain a maximum of 25 voice tweets. Once finished recording, users can re-listen to their voice tweets before publishing.
Twitter says voice tweets will appear on timelines alongside existing tweet formats. Audio playback will start in a new window docked at the bottom of the timeline so that users can continue to scroll through Twitter, or even depart the app entirely, and continue to listen. As of now, voice Tweets are only available on iOS and to a limited group of testers.
