How different do you think GN would be if ...

It wouldn’t be for me.

How different? Very different.

It would suit some of course - I wonder if they would be a minority?

I would definitely not be part of it it!

I like to sit quietly over breakfast or coffee, and just 'peruse'... couldn't be doing with fiddling around with the sound button, or having to pause and replay because I didn't quite get it the first time round... but, each to her /his/ their own.

Nooo have found sound messages frustrating..my DD uses them and I always have to fiddle with the sound button and the speed of some of them..have to repeat and hear again...

I'm looking at this and listening to the radio as well - so it wouldn't suit me!

exactly.
written word is more anonymous than spoken.
and therefore preferable.
i hate being seen or heard unless absolutely unavoidable.

There is enough judgement on here without people judging one another on accent as well as everything else

No good to me, I find typing easier than talking,

I enjoy reading and writing and being able to reread and rewrite. Anything working on voice files and you can count me out.

You`ve lost me.

I don't even know what a sound file is .

NotSpaghetti

I wouldn't bother with it if it was all sound files.

No, me neither.

I wouldn't bother with it if it was all sound files.

Now your asking!

Going on when I use them in family chat groups, no you wouldn't be able to see them printed. I think a little icon would appear in the next block and you would just click on it. I can't think of any way of doing it on here that would show you how it looks on the page.

However, if anyone knows how to save a voice message as a file the could put it in the "Chose file" underneath just to show people.

If it simply printed it into the box I don't think it would make any difference, when it came to how people read or understand what the poster's saying. I'm dictating this now and the print is just appearing on the page. (although a prince appeared not print is) and it will look just as if I've typed it up.

How could that work ? Do the messages appear printed ?
