good to know
Questions, answered.
How do they actually listen?+
On a printed card they point their phone camera at the QR on the back; on a digital card they tap play. Either way it opens a page that plays your recording.
Do they need an app to scan it?+
No. Any modern phone camera reads the QR and opens the voice page in the browser. No app, no account, no login.
How long can the recording be?+
Up to 60 seconds. Plenty for a song, a toast, a roast, or a quick heartfelt message.
Can I re-record until it's right?+
Yes. While you are making the card you can record as many takes as you want before you order.
Is the recording private?+
The QR points to a unique link for that card that isn't listed anywhere public, so only someone with the card can open it.
Does it work on digital cards too?+
Yes. On a digital card the voice note plays inline on the card page with a tap, no scanning needed.
