All you need is a microphone connected to your computer. Most recent computers come with a built in microphone. Consult the documents that came with your computer or do a careful inspection to find your microphone. If you do not have a built in microphone, you can purchase one at stores that sell electronic equipment. Many cost under $10 or $20 and simply plug into your computer.

Once you have your microphone set up and have finished uploading images, you’re ready to record. Just go to Hoorray, and follow the series of prompts that will guide you every step. Sharing an audio photo story is really no more difficult that sharing a photo without audio – in fact, it’s a lot more fun, especially when you hear the responses from your loved ones!

Easier than video, better than just pictures

Some people may be asking, “Why not just use a video to share that has audio too.” While that’s true, keep in mind that very few people want to sit through more than just a few minutes at the most of video. You simply get bored watching video for any longer than that.

With a still image, you capture a moment. Then, individual people can take their time viewing the image. They have their own memories about the people in the photo, and they will appreciate being able to view the photo in their own time and not be influenced by the time limitations that video has. And when you add audio to a photo, it makes it an even richer, more emotional experience.

A great way to preserve your family’s legacy

Parents love taking pictures of their babies, and then going back to those photos again and again to relive the memories in their mind’s eye. Now, imagine if you add audio to those photos of baby == first words, first sentences, first school days, not too mention all the fun day-to-day events that happen with kids as they grow.

Then imagine sharing those photos with family and friends and having them add their comments to the photos. Then think ahead to when “baby” is graduating from high school, and you present her with an instant heirloom all of the pictures and comments from the people she knew growing up, all together for her to view and listen too.

And you can do this with just about any event or occasion a wedding, anniversary, birthday party. Once you start adding audio to your photos, you’ll probably find it hard to stop!

A few tips for audio photo sharing

• If you've ever recorded a voice mail message, then you can easily use Hoorray's audio photo sharing feature.


• First, jot down your thoughts about the picture. What you write down doesn't have to be elaborate. Simply get your thoughts on to paper for now. Tip: Put each thought on a separate line and don’t worry about how it flows.


• Then, put what you've written down in order. If it's a short list, you may be able to simply number each thought. If it's a bit longer, you might want to recopy your thoughts in order.


• Take just a moment to review your notes, then start recording the audio story. It's best if what you record doesn't sound too rehearsed. A few mistakes are OK because it gives an authentic feel to your pictures with sound.
