Reddit Audio Reply

Enable audio comments on your subreddit that look like this:

Example of an audio comment

Why it's cool

  • Good for readers. Comments contain a link to listen and a transcript. Users who want to read can still read.
  • Easy to moderate Because transcripts are posted in the reply, the same moderation rules can moderate audio comments.
  • Consistent experience Uninstalling or editing the app's settings does NOT affect previously recorded replies.
  • Moderators have full control Moderators decide who uses it and how it's used.

Choose your mode

  • Party mode. Users can respond to any subreddit post or comment with an audio comment.
  • Limited party mode. On posts that moderators enable, users can post audio comments.
  • AMA mode. On posts that moderators enable, only the OP can post audio comments.

How it works

1 Find and reply

A user finds a post or comment they want to respond to, and in the contextual menu for the post or comment, they click "Reply with audio."

2 Record audio

After authorizing the app to get their username, the user can record their audio comment.

3 Submit and post

When they submit their recording, the comment is posted on Reddit on behalf of the user.

4 Listen

Anyone can click the link in the comment to listen to the audio.
