Who remembers the days of where you could leave messages on a chalkboard with your friends and family? You used it for simple conversation or just to let people know how you are doing and vice versa. Super simple and very personal. We're adding that essence with ChalkTalk! Your voice is powerful – make it fun! We imagine a world where sending and receiving a voice message is as fun, easy and addictive as using your favorite photo or selfie sharing or texting app…and is something that fits your life and is wherever you are. That’s right. ChalkTalk allows you to send and receive voice messages from your friends, family and network using any voice device, from and to anywhere – your phone, or any far field voice recognition device. Designed for simplicity, control and fun, with the convenience of being hands free and device agnostic. Now you can create, send and manage voice messages like never before. Communicate with your family or friends via phone or at home via voice recognition devices (“Tell Mom, I am running 10 mins late for dinner because of traffic” or “Tell Grandma, I’m busy cooking and I will call her back in 30 mins”).
