Woices.com - Worldwide Audio Recordings Archive

The Woices startup is based on a novel approach: users record and upload audio files which are endemic to a specific geographical location. According to the team behind the project, the aim is to create a new tool that will provide individuals all over the globe with a better understanding of the world we live in. This in turn will make the world a more interesting place.

A comprehensive FAQ’s page explains the process for recording and uploading an audio file (termed “echo” in the site’s parlance), along with information on aspects such as copyright and contacting other uploaders.

The collection of echoes can be easily accessed from the main page, and three main categories that have self-explanatory names are highlighted: “Recent Echoes”, “Popular Echoes” and “Noisy Places”.

So far, the site is available both in English and in Spanish. It would be very appropriate for a site of this nature to include more languages in the near future. That would make the project gain accessibility and increase its number of adepts and users.

“Share your voice and make the world a more interesting place!”

It can provide users all over the world with glimpses and snapshots from different cultures.

Is Woices free? Can I use or copy an echo I like?
