You have seen the setup at a wedding. A vintage phone sits on a table, guests pick it up during the night and leave a voicemail. Afterwards the couple gets the audio files, sometimes a web page to play them on, sometimes a vinyl record pressed with the best ones.
Only the people in the room got to speak.
With Chorus you share one link, and people record before the day or after it from wherever they are. A grandparent can record at home, a friend can record from three time zones away, and a cousin who's too shy to speak at a party can write their message instead.
Then Chorus makes the book. Each person gets a page with their message written out, their name and how they know the person the book is for. Their voice plays from the page.
