Eureka Moment
We have worked on different social media platforms and have interacted with most of the social media users. During those interactions, we got to know that most of them are not that active on it, mainly because of 2 reasons
- Language and Technical barriers- where users are unable to express themselves in their own language or have some other issues
- Media Creation- Many users were not that interested in clicking and posting or creating eye-catching content on social media.
During this interaction, we noticed that many users were quite comfortable and were able to express themselves much easily while speaking.
This was the Eureka Moment when we decided to come up with an audio-based social platform where users can speak up their thoughts without much effort.
How SpeakApp works?
While ideating SpeakApp, it was decided that it should be simple and easy to use. One can easily record and share their voice notes by tapping on the mic button given at the bottom of the screen of the app. They can attach images, videos and text if they wish to and then share it with their friends and followers. They can also interact with their friends and followers through Chat, Story, Post and by adding comments.
