VoiceThread, LLC is a cloud-based collaborative media platform founded in 2005 and headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. The platform was initially designed to digitize family photo albums with audio stories but shifted focus to provide interactive tools for education and business. It is hosted on Amazon Web Services and supports asynchronous communication, allowing users to engage in conversations around various media. VoiceThread enables users to create linear slideshows, called "VoiceThreads," by uploading images, videos, and documents. Users can collaborate through comments and annotations using voice, text, video, or audio files. The platform includes interactive tools like a "doodler" for drawing on slides and features for asynchronous meetings, feedback, and group discussions. VoiceThread is popular in educational settings for projects and feedback, as well as in business for team collaboration and virtual meetings. It offers a free basic version and advanced options for educational and business use.
