VoxPixl Adds Voice to Photos Making Digital Memories More Personal and Easier to Find
Seattle (PRWEB) August 12, 2013 -- VoxPixl (http://www.voxpixl.com) announced the launch of its flagship iOS app, which combines pictures with voice captions to transform your photo library into a personal collection of digital memories. Available now for free in the iTunes App Store, users can easily capture the story behind any new or existing photo by simply recording an audio message from their iPhone or iPad. These story-telling photos are then saved to a personal profile on VoxPixl, and are privately stored in the cloud until the user decides to share them with others via social, text or email.
VoxPixl is different from other photo apps because it is specifically dedicated to help easily create, store and retrieve photos and stories from a private collection of digital memories in the cloud. No longer are special moments captured with a photo limited to vague text descriptions, keywords, or hashtags. With VoxPixl, the voice completes the picture and users can instantly retrieve their favorite digital memories by searching for any word mentioned in the recorded story. VoxPixl intuitively makes photos search-enabled by using Siri-like technology from Nuance Communications, Inc. to automatically transcribe these recordings. Now, digital memories can live on each time VoxPixl users or someone with whom they've shared the photo, listens to the story.
“It’s believed that the average person stores approximately 1,000 photos on their iPhone and a third of these photos are shared on social networks or saved to a cloud storage service,” said Adi Saric, a lead developer and founding team member of VoxPixl. “But the challenge people have isn’t sharing photos, but easily retrieving these memories when they want them. That’s why there’s VoxPixl.
Whether its immortalizing the guys’ trip to Las Vegas, family pictures with the newborn baby, or sharing Thanksgiving with Grandma whose voice you want to remember, with VoxPixl, users can add up to 30-seconds of personal commentary to any new or existing photo, and even make enhancements to the photo with basic editing tools. Once saved to a private VoxPixl profile, users can immediately retrieve a specific digital memory by typing in the first few letters of a word mentioned in the story recorded, or by simply scrolling through photos individually with text captions of the audio recording, or in a small photo-only tile format.
