1

Tap Record. The first time, your browser asks for microphone permission — allow it.

2

Speak. A countdown runs from 30 seconds.

3

Tap Stop when you are done, then Play to hear it back.

4

Not happy? Re-record. Happy? Done attaches it — the panel says Voice Message Ready.

5

Cancel backs out without a recording; you can add one later, any time before you create the card.

What Your Recipient Hears

When they open the card there is an audio button inside it. They tap it and hear you. The recording is included in the downloaded card too, so it plays with no internet — and for grandparents it is frequently the part they replay.

Tips for a Great Recording

Find a quiet spot

Background noise is the thing that makes a message hard to hear.

Say the specific thing

Their name, one memory, one line you would say in person. Twenty seconds is plenty.

If your browser cannot record

The recorder tells you so. Try another browser on the same device, or your phone.

File size

Recordings are capped at 512 KB. A 30-second message fits.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can a voice message be?
Up to 30 seconds. A countdown shows the time left while you record.
What if my recording sounds bad?
Tap Re-record and try again — as many times as you like before you create the card. Remove takes it off the card altogether.
Does my recipient need an app to hear it?
No. They tap the audio button inside the card and it plays in their browser. No app, no account.
Is the voice message in the downloaded card?
Yes. Keep Card packs the recording into the file, so it plays offline.
Is it free?
Yes, on every card. A voice message needs no Card Pack; a video message does.
