Is there any plugin that allows users to post voice subjects?
Is there anyone interested in such plugin?

this may help: I remember @simon has worked on “sound track upload”, but I couldn’t find it now via search.

I think this is it?

If you enable audio filetypes for your forum, (mp3, ogg, wav, m4a) when audio files are uploaded, they should give you the browser’s default audio player.
Audio files are very large, so you would probably only want to enable them if you are storing uploads externally.
Edit: with the m4a filetype enabled, I can upload audio directly from my Android phones voice recorder app. That might be close to what you are looking for.

Is there any way to limit the length of the audio to X seconds?
Do users record their voice or need to upload the files?

No, but you can set the ‘max attachment size’ on Discourse to limit upload sizes. From my phone, a 1 minute audio recording is approximately 1000kb.
They need to upload the file. On my phone it is quite straightforward. Clicking the upload button in the composer opens the phone’s ‘Choose an action’ menu. That lets me select the phone’s voice recorder app.

Following @simon’s suggestions, I get a player when a user uploads an audio file directly, but not when the audio file comes as an email attachment. In that case, a link to download the audio file is displayed. I’m testing Discourse as a ticketing system and our inboxes receive a good amount of voicemails to handle (forwarded from our phone line), so I’m interested in the player option when someone emails an audio file. Is there a way to configure this?

Can you send an audio file as an email attachment here by replying to this via email so that we can have a look?

I’ve tried to reply with an audio attachment but it appears that audio files are not authorized here ("authorized extensions: jpg, jpeg, png, gif, pdf, csv, gz, json, svg, mp4, txt, docx, mov, tex”).
Regardless, the same thing appears to happen with audio-only video files. Here is an .mp4 being sent as an email attachment.

And here it is with the direct upload.

Thanks @Elena_Lappen.
@gerhard, can you see if we can improve attachment_markdown to check if we can onebox the upload?

I’m reviving this topic because I think voice messages are a big accessibility feature. I’m looking for
- Voice recording
- Accessible to those who are D/deaf and/or hard of hearing
- So likely via automatic transcription
- Translatable
- Stored externally
We use VoiceText to do this on Slack, and it works very very well.
I’d love for it to be an option for Discourse, though! I don’t know how to necessarily get that to happen, but the workflow is just right.
For Discourse, perhaps an intermediary step is adding a button to the composer that opens a link to a voice recorder site. I’ve experimented with different voice recorders and here are some options. None of them are perfect, but would love to hear your feedback on this idea!
Otter.ai
Automatic transcription. Requires log-in and requires payment after 600 minutes/month (which is a lot, though!)
Reverb
Super simple to use. No log-in required. However, no automatic transcription.
SpeakPipe
Also super simple to use. No log-in required. No automatic transcription. 5 minute time limit per recording. Not as pretty as Reverb.

Sarei molto interessato anche a questa funzionalità all’interno di Discourse, le attuali soluzioni alternative non sembrano qualcosa che i miei utenti farebbero a causa delle complicazioni che alcuni dei miei utenti potrebbero incontrare.

Ciao ragazzi
Mi occupo di questo! Questa è una funzionalità che mi interessa poiché voglio principalmente spostare la comunicazione al nostro staff tramite messaggi vocali.
Ho provato la dettatura di Siri, ma è un incubo (almeno per la lingua tedesca). E sono su Firefox, quindi la dettatura di Google Chrome non è un’opzione.
Qualcuno ha ottenuto qualcosa di simile?
@debryc Hai trovato qualche implementazione nativa con Discourse? Il mio scenario ideale sarebbe utilizzare un servizio dall’interno dell’editor in modo che la trascrizione completa venga incorporata automaticamente nel post.

@jrgong Sto monitorando anche io.
C’è questo Componente Tematico di @angus (che attualmente è rotto)…
C’è anche un Plugin di @peter.be che ora funziona…
I Componenti Tematici sono solitamente migliori e più flessibili, quindi il Componente Tematico di @angus è probabilmente la soluzione migliore! Forse potremmo contribuire a pagare uno degli sviluppatori per sistemare il Componente Tematico.
@jrgong c’è anche questo, che è in realtà molto bello e stabile open source… che potrei considerare di impacchettare come componente tematico.

Soundcite sembra interessante per la sua natura open-source 
il prossimo passo sarebbe ovviamente integrarlo nativamente nei post di Discourse.
Sì, mandami un PM, sono interessato
