The other party sends you a 40-second voice, and the next 5 seconds of voice are not clear, so you can only start over for 40 seconds.
In fact, it's not just you, many people have email list encountered the same situation as you, so everyone's voice for WeChat's voice progress bar is particularly high, hoping to solve such a problem.
After so many years, users can still find complaints about it.
User needs have always been a part of the product that cannot be ignored. Since users' voices are so strong, why hasn't WeChat updated the voice progress bar function? After all, the QQ next door has it?
First, talk about the progress bar
Everyone is no stranger to progress bars. When we listen to songs, watch videos (usually long videos), and use recording tools, we will use progress bars. Their content has a common feature, that is, the content is longer and the content is richer. For example, the duration of a song is about 3-5 minutes, and a video contains two parts of information: sound and image.
The role of the progress bar is to help us quickly locate the content we want. In short, find content by dragging and dropping . Without the progress bar, the time cost for me to learn to sing a song would increase considerably. When I look at a course recorded on the Internet, I can only find my weak knowledge points in the unit of a whole class.
When the word voice is added to the progress bar, if it is to be valuable, it still needs to meet the two characteristics of the content of the progress bar, that is, the voice time should be long and the voice content should be rich.
2. Usage scenarios
If the other party asks you: Have you eaten? Where have you been? Have you done nucleic acid? The meaning is obvious and the content is short, and it does not require too much processing by the brain. Generally, there is no need to drag the progress bar to listen repeatedly.
WeChat voice can be sent for a maximum of 60 seconds at a time. At normal speech speed, 60 seconds of voice can contain 200 words, which is equivalent to a primary school student's composition.
However, even the simplest-looking composition for elementary school students contains specific characters, places, and behaviors, and it is even possible to hear half of the brain on standby, not to mention if the voice is about work from the leader, or It is someone else who tells you what to do. You must understand some details clearly so that you will not go wrong.
What is even more speechless is that the voice is interrupted by accidental touch or accidental events, and it needs to start over.
In this way, no matter whether the content is simple or complex, as long as the WeChat voice is long enough, the listener needs to bear a certain cost of fast memory, understanding, and risk.
A voice bar does seem like a legitimate need.
However, must reasonable demands be fulfilled?
