EMERYVILLE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Announced today, Fotobabble allows people to add voice to photos in seconds with just a few clicks on a web browser or an iPhone. Whether you want to add your voice to a photo stored on your computer, or on one just snapped with your iPhone, Fotobabble brings images to life that can be shared immediately with friends and family.“There are tens of billions of static photos on the web without a voice or sound,” said Kamal Shah, CEO of Fotobabble. “Three billion photos are uploaded to Facebook each month alone. Using Fotobabble, people and businesses can greatly enhance these images with the energy and emotion of voice.”

Fotobabble’s iPhone app can work with an existing image, or capture one with the built-in camera. Screenshot provided by Fotobabble Inc.

Free to use, it only takes seconds to create and share a “Fotobabble.” Simply upload a photo and record your voice directly through your computer’s microphone to create a talking photo. On your iPhone, after downloading the free Fotobabble app, select an existing photo or a snap a new one, hit record and you’re done. Whether using a computer or your iPhone, you can share talking photos via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, or embed them into a blog or website.

Fotobabble for Fun & Communication:
The possibilities of what you can do with talking photos are endless, whether it’s to add life to photos you upload on Facebook, send talking greetings to Grandma from your kids’ birthday party, capture a funny or touching moment experienced with friends, send a picture to your spouse with your voice describing the perfect couch for the living room, include your voice in a home-made greeting card, or send talking postcards from a vacation.

Imagine being on safari and sending a photo to a friend – captioned with your voice – that truly captures the excitement you felt the moment you first saw a lion? How unique and fun it would be to have talking photo status updates within Twitter and Facebook?

You could also become a citizen journalist, Fotobabbling a car accident you just witnessed. Imagine a broadcast network asking people to Fotobabble the situation in an emergency zone such as Haiti, or providing instant scoop on local news or sporting events.

Fotobabble for Business:
Businesses can create Fotobabbles to promote a product, to more effectively engage with customers online, or to increase the number of visitors to their website, blog or Facebook page. Fotobabbles are easily embedded anywhere on the web and vastly improve how images are presented and experienced online.

Whether you sell a product or service, or you’re a sports personality, musician, politician or activist, your talking photos will be a memorable experience for customers and fans.

Brands and ad agencies can use Fotobabble as a social media marketing platform. Fotobabble’s flexibility makes it easy to build customized viral marketing campaigns that are more engaging than text or static photos, and are much simpler to create and share than video. Brands can build truly unique campaigns using Fotobabble in contests, Facebook, Twitter, blogs and more.
