What is Natural Voice privacy technology?

​Natural Voice privacy technology protects you in three ways: (1) Tap To Talk, (2) The Minute Limit, and (3) Discrete Keys. 

1. Tap To Talk is a type of user interface (UI) that has a physical button to give you absolute control over when the microphone is switched on and off. Voice message apps with the Natural Voice privacy shield always have physical button with the label Tap To Talk.

If you use virtual assistants like Alexa or Siri then you know there's voice command option (for example, "Hey Siri"). Using a voice command option means the microphone is always "listening" for the command.

With your safety in mind, voice message apps with the Natural Voice privacy shield use a physical button instead of a voice command. When you see the Natural Voice privacy shield you can be sure microphone is off after you click the button to stop it.

2. The Minute Limit is a privacy feature that automatically shuts off the microphone after one minute, even if you don't click the button to stop it. Simply said, The Minute Limit makes it impossible for the voice message app use the microphone for longer than 1 minute.

3. Discrete Keys is a critical security feature to ensure that no one can hack or steal voice messages from the cloud. Discrete Keys is a feature in our API layer that allows two discrete security keys (API keys) to be created for voice message apps. Discrete Keys means that one API key is created for sending voice messages and a second API key is created for retrieving voice messages.

How do I start talking?

Tap the button or the words "Tap To Talk" and start talking.

How do I stop it when I'm done?

Tap the button again to when you're done talking. This turns off the microphone. The Minute Limit feature turns off the microphone after 59 seconds, even if you don't.

Where does my voice message go? When is it deleted?

Messages are processed in the cloud and delivered to the person who used our service to set-up their talk-url link or the voice message app. All messages are automatically deleted from the cloud after two weeks.

Is this talk-url link or voice message app going to secretly record all my private conversations?

No, that would be unethical and illegal, and our CEO doesn't want to go to jail. If you ever suspect that a camera app or voice app is secretly recording you then you have a right to report it to the FBI here immediately. If you have questions about Natural Voice privacy technolory please contact our Solution Desk.

If the voice message app has permission to access the microphone, does that mean the microphone is always on?

The microphone is turned off by you or the Minute Limit feature, even though the microphone permission stays on unless you remove it. 

​You're probably familiar with camera apps. If you use your personal device with a camera app, then it will request your permission to access the camera and your photos. ​The camera app won't work at all if you block the camera access.

Similarly, to send a voice message you need to grant microphone access. When you allow access the access the microphone, your browser or device usually remember it. ​This is why some phones or browsers will show a red alert or a notification when a page is open that has a voice message feature. This is just to remind you the page is open and is allowed to access the microphone. The alert isn't dangerous—it's a simple reminder for your protection.

What's so special about this technology?

Your voice message is sent digitally over the cloud instead of over a telephone network. The cloud is faster and more secure. This also means you can send a voice message online just by clicking the links you find on social media, web pages, and emails without using your minutes. Using talk-url links should help protect people who just want to share their ideas and opinions from getting unwanted robo calls that can start after calling a toll-free or business telephone number that's using robo call technology.

What should I talk about?

Wherever you find the link there is usually a subject or topic mentioned. The subject is what you should talk about.

Why would someone want to get voice messages from people like me?

Because they're curious about people's ideas and opinions concerning products, services, and current events.
