A picture’s worth a thousand words, but sometimes our pictures -- no matter how fabulous they are -- still need a few words of explanation to go along with them.
Enter SpeakingPhoto, a new iPhone app that lets you add sound to any photo, allowing you tell a story along with the image before you share it with friends on Facebook or via email. Finished photo/videos can also be shared on YouTube.
“SpeakingPhoto grew out of a desire to capture the sweet and fleeting sound of children’s voices –- something home videos tend to diminish,” explains Dawn Davis Founding Partner and CEO of SpeakingPhoto.
“From there, we realized that capturing stories, and the emotions behind them, was extremely meaningful. It quickly became apparent that this App can be used in many creative, fun and compelling ways, by people all over the world,” she added.
Davis sees the app being used by everyone from real estate agents trying to explain a photo of a property for sale to friends trying to tell the story behind an epic birthday party photo.
Speaking Photo is available now in the App Store in three different version: SpeakingPhoto Lite, a free version of the app that lets users shoot, speak, and share a photo in real-time; a 99-cent iPhone version that lets you annotate images from your camera roll and create slideshows of up to five photos, and a $2.99 iPad version scaled to take advantage of the iPad’s larger screen.
