    I already hate people who send voice messages in a world where dictation software exists. I hate whoever even thought of joking about this even more.

      But dictation software would omit crucial parts like ummms, coughing etc

      The dictation software we have is pretty shitty though. It almost always needs proof-read, or re-dictated several times to get it right. At that point you may as well just send an audio clip.

      Until the day that dictation software gets it 100% correct, it's not going to be worth my time.

      For now, the human on the other end will always have an easier time understand an audio clip than a machine, because human minds are more capable of using context and getting past regional accents.

        Most of the times I get a voice message it could be written in two sentences, but they still decide to make it a two minute voice message. Just a lot of useless stuff added for free

      maybe this sucks of me but when people do this i just don't bother listening. sorry you couldn't be assed to send a fifteen second text, i def can't be fucked to listen to a five minute ramble that's mostly filler

      Voice messages are good for those who speak a language which doesn't get focused on by transcription services or are too old to read tiny text
