Voicethread is an asynchronous discussion tool that easily allows for users to record audio and add text to images collaboratively.
How does it work?
In short, the creator of a Voicethread uploads media (video, pictures, or documents) to the Voicethread website and then threads the media together via a commenting function. Others can also be invited to join the conversation by viewing the media slides and adding their own comments.
