VoiceThread grants you to imbue your static media (documents, pics, video) with recorded sound commentary, via webcam, phone, text or audio files and share them with anyone. It’s an easy to use web app that has a nice wow factor. Now your pic or video collection can be just like the director’s cut on DVDs, enriching the original piece with new perspectives from those involved and those who may just want to add ancillary comments like, “good work,” or “this bites.”
So, say for instance you have an old family pic of your parents in the day. With VoiceThread, you could have your parents leave audio comments on the photo. You could then share the photo with others in your family, giving them a richer insight and context to that moment in time and they too, if invited, could leave comments.
But like the Ginsu Knife set that seems endless, that’s just the mere beginning of VoiceThread’s features. You can doodle on your images to highlight something you really want to emphasize (or just pointless doodle), and you can video doodle, while stopping playback to convey a point. To see doodling in action, check out the holiday pic with comments after the jump.
