Twitter Makes Users Can Twitter Via Voice On Social Media

JAKARTA - Twitter has launched a new feature that makes it easier for users to socialize media. This new feature allows people to record and tweet in the form of audio for 140 seconds.

Twitter announced the new feature in a blog post. They say the new feature is designed to "add a more human touch" to using Twitter, and hope that users can show a new kind of expression.

"There are a lot of things that can be left unsaid or not interpreted using text, so we hope that Tweeting voices will create a more human experience for listeners and storytellers alike," said Twitter as quoted by Business Insider, Thursday, June 18.

The process of creating a voice tweet is similar to that of creating a text tweet. To use it, the user has to press the newly added wavelength icon and start speaking.

Users can speak for 140 seconds, new voice tweets will automatically appear and can be given a description. This feature is similar to WhatsApp and Instagram's voice notes.

For Apple iOS users, you can listen to voice tweets while continuing to scroll the timeline page. This feature will be limited to certain iOS users initially but will roll out to everyone in the coming weeks.

However, if users haven't caught this new feature update, they can still listen to the posted voice tweet and reply with text only. Unfortunately, Twitter also hasn't included accessibility-friendly features for deaf users who want to hear these voice tweets.
