Final Outcome

Proposal/ Model of an update for the Memoji app with a new feature the "Memoji Voiceover"

Apple's solution

amagnani8 — 2021-02-25 17:55:47 UTC

As shown by the video below, apple has already created an update which allows you to send pre-recorded voice messages through an animated Memoji. However my final outcome does not include recorded voice messages. As previously mentioned, one reason why we text instead of calling is because in some situations we cannot speak out-loud. As a result, my solution tackles this problem, by allowing people to send texts which get automatically translated into vocal messages, so they do not need to speak to send a voice message. However coming back to the initial problem, which remains to maintain a human side to the digital communication of texting, the automated messages will be sent through Memoji and will include a feature which allows you to select a voice tones for you automated message.
