How to send a voice message to VK on the phone
Instructions
To send a voice message to VK on your phone, you need to start a dialogue with the user you need. This action is performed only through the official application or the VKontakte website, so you must first log into the social network (to perform these and further actions, you will need a working Internet connection). Just go to the page to the person and select the "Send message" action, or go to the "Dialogues" menu and start a dialogue with the corresponding user.
In the message box, you will see a microphone icon in the lower right corner. Click on it and activate access to the microphone of your phone. Next, click on the icon again and do not release your finger from it. Say what you want to send to another user, and then immediately stop pressing. It is better to hold the phone close to your mouth, turning it towards you with the microphone so that the device can make out the spoken sentences as best as possible.
The accuracy of the words and the overall quality of the message can be either quite intelligible and clear, or not too much. It depends a lot on the phone model and its microphone design, as well as the environment. For example, strong wind or noise can degrade the quality of voice recordings. In addition, before you send a voice message to VK on your phone, carefully consider its text in order to pronounce it as quickly and clearly as possible, as well as to avoid speech errors. Once everything is ready, click Submit.
The ability to send voice messages on VKontakte was developed in order to make communication more accessible, simple and convenient. For example, this function has already been appreciated by drivers, workers, students and other people who do not always have the opportunity to urgently contact someone with their hands. The person you sent the voice message to will receive it as an audio file. This file can be listened to immediately, after which the same voice response can be sent. According to the creators of the function, such communication becomes more realistic and similar to everyday life than textual correspondence.

Having opened free access to registration in November 2006, the then still very young social network Vkontakte began to develop rapidly. From 2007 to the present, the resource has launched several dozen services, eventually turning into a multifunctional online microblogging platform that combines the capabilities of a messenger, cloud storage and a trading platform. Some of the chips available on the social network deserve special attention.
So, in the second half of 2016, users were able to send each other voice messages in VK. This method of communication has a number of advantages, firstly, the voice perfectly conveys the mood, and secondly, if the user still wants to send a message in text, then it will be much faster to read it through the microphone than to type with his hands. Plus, such messages can be exchanged, let's say, in not the most favorable circumstances for this, for example, during a trip in a car.
How to send a voice message to VK
First, let's see how to send a voice message to VK from a computer. To do this, go to the "Messages" section and select a dialogue with the user to whom you want to send your message. Scrolling down the page, you will see a standard field for entering text messages, and to the right of it - an icon in the form of a microphone. Click on it and start talking. When you finish dictating, just click the send button and your message will be sent to the recipient, displaying in his dialogs in the form of a panel with an image of a sound wave and a play button.
If the browser requests access to the microphone when you click the recording icon, provide it, otherwise you will not be able to send an audio message. Of course, a recording device, in this case a microphone, must be connected to the computer, and this device must be active. As you can see, everything is very simple. If the user is not in the list of dialogs, it doesn't matter, go to his page, click "Write a message" - "Go to a dialogue with ...", create and send a voice message to VK using the method described above.
In mobile browsers, you can read text messages by voice by pressing the microphone button located in the upper right corner of the virtual keyboard.
With stationary computers, everything is clear, but how to send a voice message to VK from a phone or other mobile device on which the official Vkontakte application is installed. Almost everything is the same here. You need to go to the "Messages" section, select the desired dialogue, tap on the microphone icon located to the right of the text entry field and hold it down while reading the message. As soon as you release the button, the message will be sent immediately. If you suddenly change your mind about sending a message without releasing the microphone button, swipe from right to left and the recording will be immediately deleted. By the way, the button for sending audio messages in the Vkontakte mobile application is available in the windows of new dialogs.
How to send audio as a voice message
Well, okay, is it possible to send a voice message on Vkontakte as an attached audio recording? Yes, this is quite real. The Vkontakte web interface does not have a voice recorder, the social network no longer supports flash applications, but nothing prevents you from using any third-party web service for recording voice messages, for example, the online application "Sound Recorder" available at the online-voice-recorder .com / ru. If you need to send audio from a smartphone, then everything is even easier, since a built-in voice recorder is available in the firmware of most modern mobile gadgets.
You can do without third-party tools, but you have to tinker a little. We will follow this algorithm:
- We send a voice message to ourselves.
- Download it in MP3 format to your computer.
- Upload the file to your library.
- We send the audio file as an audio message to another user.
How to record a voice message in VK and save it to your library? Very simple. There is such an undocumented feature on the social network - to send messages to yourself. Go to the page of any of your friends, open the list of his friends, find yourself in the list and click the "Write a message" link. Then everything is as usual: we go to the dialogue, press the microphone button, read the voice message and send it to ourselves. Now you need to extract the message file. Right-click on the message and select the "View page code" option.
Using the page search (F3), find the tag with the attribute data-mp3, it will contain a direct link to the message MP3 file.
Now it will not be difficult for you to send audio as a voice message to VK to any user by attaching it using the appropriate option.
Why Voice Messages Are Not Recorded
Now you know how to send voice messages to VK via a computer and a mobile application, but it would also be nice to know what can interfere with normal audio recording. As a rule, the main reason why audio messages are not recorded is incorrect microphone settings. Sometimes incorrect settings in the profile of a social network user become a stumbling block. In any case, it is worth checking the following points:
- Open your recording devices from the tray sound menu and make sure the microphone is working.
- Check if the microphone and drivers are working correctly in Device Manager.
- The recorder may be temporarily unavailable if used by other applications. Quit programs that can record audio from the microphone.
- Access to the microphone is often blocked by the browser. Check the appropriate settings in your browser options.
- If you are sending a message from a mobile device, make sure the Internet connection is good.
Outcome
Sending voice messages to VK is not difficult at all, but how useful is this function really? Experience has shown that most users still prefer classic correspondence, and there are reasons for this. Firstly, without using headphones, listening to voice messages on mobile devices turns into a hassle, forcing the user to hold the phone to his ear every now and then. Secondly, the quality of audio recordings leaves much to be desired, which is why it is not always possible to understand what the interlocutor wants to convey to you. And thirdly, reading text messages takes less time than listening to audio. Nevertheless, the function of exchanging short audio recordings is still an innovation, which, subject to further development, may turn out to be really in demand.
The ability to send voice messages has long been included in the lively correspondence of VK users. The acceleration of information exchange created a logical need, and the developers satisfied it. It is convenient to exchange voice messages under any circumstances: at home from a computer or on the road from a mobile device.
There are several options here, which, albeit slightly, but differ.
Official programs
The developers of the social network have made a convenient application for smartphones. It works somewhat faster and much more convenient than the same mobile version of the site. To send a voice message through it, you need to perform a number of actions.
- Go to the application and go to the dialogue with the person to whom you want to send a message.
- In the lower right corner, next to the "Send" button, you can find the microphone icon, click on it.
- After the first click on the icon, you must allow the official application to access the microphone.
- Now hold down the microphone image and speak. As soon as you finish - release, the recording will be sent to your interlocutor immediately.
- If the text does not suit you, swipe to the side and the message is not sent.
Kate mobile
Here in the dialog with the user in the lower left corner you can find the plus icon. Click on it, a drop-down menu will appear. Select "Voicemail". After that, you can talk. When done, click on "Stop". Now just send the message in the standard way. This is not as convenient as in the official VK application, but it is quite acceptable if you rarely have situations when you need to send something using voice dialing.
Browser on computer
- Open the dialog, to the right of the "Send" button there is a microphone icon.
- You should click on it, after that recording starts from your microphone.
- When finished recording, click Stop, submit.
It's important to know! The default browser does not have access to the microphone, you will need to allow it in the pop-up window.
What if no voice messages are sent?
The problem is quite common, more often from your side:
- You want to check your internet connection. The most common problem faced by social network users.
- Make sure that the recording device is working properly. The problem can be both in the microphone itself and the permission to use it by the browser, as well as in the drivers.
- Run a virus scan.
- Clear the cache.
If none of the above helped, chances are the developers are already doing whatever they can to fix the situation.
Change the voice in a message
- find Google speech synthesizer;
- type the text of the message;
- enable microphone recording (microphone icon in voice messages), and then start speech playback;
- at the end of the message, you need to turn off the recording.
Synthesized speech is not so perfect, but it will convey everything that you wanted to say. It will not work to cut off the message if necessary, the VKontakte developers did not provide tools for this.
