There are many possible uses for the online application I’m highlighting today.  One use that springs immediately to my mind would be for an individual facing any kind of challenge with writing.  The challenge might be the result of a physical limitation or a so called “learning disability”.

Vocaroo calls itself a voice recording service, and that is exactly what it is.  With a very straightforward  interface, the user can record his or her voice.  The recording may then be shared via email, embedded on a web page, or downloaded to the QuickTime player on a computer.

Since there is no limit to the length of a recording, the potential uses of Vocaroo are also unlimited.  It can be used to answer questions on a test, to tell a story, to describe how something works, to communicate via email, to recite poetry, or to sing a song.  Vocaroo can even be used by a blog writer to share his voice with the blog’s readers.  Click on the button below, and you should hear my personal greeting.  (You may need to click the button twice and then pause for a moment while Vocaroo loads in a new window or browser tab.)

If you have a microphone handy, you can use the Vocaroo widget below to make a recording of your own just for fun.
