Voice commenting in future

The main reasons why this is unlikely to be a feature in the near future, at least, would be considerations of storage size and bandwidth. A text of, say, 100 characters would require a little over 100 bytes to store (assuming one byte per character or space). Although I haven't actually tested it, a recording of the same text spoken could hardly be less than 10 times that size, even allowing for compression. At times, myLot is slow enough already. Increasing the file size of responses and comments by this much would almost certainly bring the site's servers and Internet connection to its knees! The considerations of conducting an online discussion in this way can be seem, with a little thought, to be impractical and unworkable. Have you ever left the room whilst a real life discussion or debate is in progress and found that you have missed some important information whilst you were away? Discussions here are not in 'real time' and responses and comments can be posted at any time - often several hours - after the discussion started. It would not be possible for a newcomer to a discussion to review all the responses and comments posted before in a reasonable time and nor would it be feasible for the discussion owner to comment back to everyone who posted in a reasonable time. The quality and clarity of the recordings and the many different accents which would be used would also very often make it difficult, if not impossible to understand what was said.

hahaha good imagination.. but isn't that more tiring. and also i can't imagine hearing a lot of comments of different accent, loudness and diction. i might go crazy. but nice imagination

That will be good.

@Sojourn It is fine. It is early afternoon here.

It is night now and I watched Roadies..

I prefer to typing rather than talk. But I understand your need, I probably would never have used it

Better to type than speak to microphone, sometimes unclear to hear.

After attending our religious meeting, we went to the mall to buy my eyeglasses and now, we are resting, just took our dinner.
