An app called Cord, developed by two former Google employees, Thomas Gayno and Jeff Baxter, is hoping to let people quickly record and send their brief voice messages lasting no more than 12 seconds to one or several people at the same time with just a single tap.
“Over the past decade, people are speaking to each other less and less,” Gayno told AFP.
“Increasingly they communicate by text — either by SMS, email or instant messaging. We want to tackle that and 
get people speaking to each other again.”
To transmit the voice with Cord, users will simply tap on the face of a visible contact placed in a circle, pressing once to listen to a message or to respond without the requirement of any number or text.
This voice enabled app will certainly play a key role in controlling new devices, from smartphones to wearables and other connected objects, as said by Thomas Husson, an analyst with Forrester Research. “However, I doubt that a service based on the promise of voice-services alone can scale – it will have to embedded among other features in an open way to control new devices.”
The two Google Veterans are hoping that this innovative new app will trigger a renaissance in an increasingly unfashionable method of human communication: talking.
