Sending voice notes

Voice notes let you talk instead of type. Each note comes with a written transcript.

Record and send a voice note

  1. 1Open a conversation in Inbox.
  2. 2Tap Voice note next to Send my calendar.
  3. 3The first time, your browser asks to use your microphone. Tap Allow.
  4. 4Speak. You can record up to 3 minutes.
  5. 5Tap Stop.
  6. 6Tap play to listen back.
  7. 7Tap Send to send it, or delete it and record again.

Play and read voice notes

  1. 1Tap the play button on any voice note. The bar shows progress and length.
  2. 2A few seconds after sending, a Transcript appears under the note. While it is being made you will see "Transcribing...".
  3. 3Only the two people in the chat can play or read it.

If the microphone does not work

  1. 1Look for the camera or lock icon in your browser's address bar.
  2. 2Open site settings and set Microphone to Allow.
  3. 3Reload the page and try again.
  4. 4On a phone, also check that your browser has microphone access in the phone's settings.

Good to know

  • Voice notes follow the same rules as text: a finished profile and a paid plan.
  • Phone numbers or emails spoken before a booking hide the transcript, just like typed contact details.
  • If a transcript fails, the note still sends and plays normally.
