Sending voice messages without a good reason is disrespectful to the recipient.
Why:
1. They are harder to understand more
We do not always perceive information immediately and at first glance. In the case of a text message, it
is quite easy to re-read it completely or partially. Voice messages usually have to be listened to in
full: this is very inconvenient and takes a lot of time.
2. Speech can be unclear more
Let's face it, not all of us are great speakers - our speech is often unclear, we swallow sounds,
mumble, speak too quietly, some have speech defects, etc. In addition, there may be a noisy environment
around the sender. All this makes listening very difficult.
3. They are not always convenient to listen to more
There are situations when listening to a voice message is impossible or difficult: the
recipient may be watching a movie, listening to music, attending a meeting, in a noisy environment, in a
public place without headphones, etc.
4. It is impossible to search through them more
There is often a need to find some information in a conversation with a person,
especially when it is very old or just very voluminous. For example, if you agreed with a friend to meet
somewhere, he named the place in a voice message, and you forgot. If there were many other messages, it
becomes extremely difficult, sometimes almost impossible, to find the target one.
5. Listening to messages takes longer than reading more
As a rule, we read much faster than we speak. In addition, when recording, a person
often pauses and repeats. If listening to a voice message takes several minutes, then reading the same
information often takes only a few seconds (depending on the speed of reading and the ability to work
with information).
6. You can't copy parts of voice messages more
Quite often, we have to not just perceive the received information, but also actively
work with it: pass it on to someone else, search the Internet for details, etc. It is much easier to
work with text in this case.
7. Text messages are more concise more
As a rule, a voice message is just a low-quality stream of thoughts, characterized by verbosity, poor
phrasing, regular pauses, etc. In the case of a text message, there is an opportunity to re-read and
edit it, removing unnecessary parts. In addition, when writing text, we think much better about the
thought we want to convey.
8. Voice messages are heavier than text messages more
If the recipient has a weak internet connection, they may have problems listening to your message: it
may load slowly or not play at all. In addition, you may use a significant part of the recipient's
internet traffic, which can be important in the case of roaming, etc.
