Review: Heyoya - Voice Comments for Websites and Blogs

Commenting system for blogs and Websites is one of the 'major thing' that I once thought that it really needs an innovation. A few years ago, I either used to code a comment system by myself or used to attach third-party commenting systems such as Facebook comment plugin, Disqus or spot.im. These all platforms worked really well but they didn't innovate their platform with the changing pace of technology and the demand of people.

There was something missing that commenting platforms needed to add, luckily, today on Product Hunt Nir Shilo hunted and launched his own created comment platform, "HEYOYA". Heyoya has got some amazing features that will blow your mind.

Introduction to Heyoya

As written on their official blog, "Heyoya is a voice comments platform that brings the depth and nuance of the spoken word to online commenting systems. By allowing site visitors to record their spoken thoughts as comments, Heyoya turns your website into an interactive conversation. Immediate advantages are an increase in the time visitors spend on the page, an increase in user retention, and increased return visits.

A more subtle advantage comes from the use of voice. As the internet grows more interactive, voice commenting lets users give their thoughts in free-form. The tone and nuance of the spoken word will help clear away the ambiguities of plain text, leading to better understanding in a more fun, trustworthy, way".

Heyoya helps you to add a whole new next level of the commenting system to your Website or blog. Heyoya comes with brilliant features. Enlisting some of the features here:

Fast Loading Time – Heyoya loads in parallel with your website and will not affect your site loading time;
Monetization – Monetize below-the-fold advertising for additional revenue streams;

After the successful registration, you'll be redirected to the dashboard section, where you can customize the comment system according to your needs. On the final step, you'll be given a one-line script to add to your website or blog. Just one-line!!

I have already added the Heyoya's comment system at the end of this post. You can check, play and give a positive as well as negative response related to this post as well as the comment system. Your true feedback will really help us a lot to make necessary improvements.

Pricing

Heyoya is quite cheap as it only costs $7/month if you are subscribing for annually. But, if you chose to pay monthly. you have to pay $8/month. It's quite cheap! Also, you can try Heyoya for free, but you will miss numerous features that make Heyoya awesome.

Check out the pricing for Heyoya here.

I have tried Heyoya on an another blog. Here's what I learnt:

It's fast, the commenting system loads quickly.
The voice recording is easy, just tap the button and record your thoughts.
You don't need to type in your thoughts to share it with people.
