Could just be me, but in some cases I find it easier to explain/understand complex ideas succinctly with a voice note.

  Other than you trying to replicate sounds (eg. music), I have a hard time believing that claim. For normal speech, text is essentially a 1:1 recreation. It might be faster for you to record the same amount of words than to type it, but that's not the same as "succinct", and it ends up costing time for the other party (as the patent poster mentioned).

    > For normal speech, text is essentially a 1:1 recreation. More of a 1:0.5 or even 1:0.25. There is a lot lost in text to speech,such as tone and volume two very aspect of speech, that affect what is said and attempted to be conveyed. Not to mention their are certain little tidbits you can do in speech that is not a lossless translation. I don’t disagree that voice notes take up more time than text, but Speech and text are far from 1:1.
