Can't be bothered to think too hard,
but anyway my idea is to have a forum where to create a post, you hold space down and speak into the mic.
The clip would then be posted on a the forum.
To hear/pause all forum post, just press shift. Voice recognition would be used to quickly jot down the
first 10 sec of the speech.
(Sub idea...: Make this service like chatmaker.net where you can just give a friend a link, and they can post anonymously if they want. For example quickly organizing a meeting next week!)

This idea, applied to this website. I think my criticism of that applies equally to this. [notexactly, Apr 16 2018]

There are telephone forums (fora? forii?) in existence already, although I don't think they've had anything like the success of the typed ones. |

Speech is linear, text is non-linear. This means that you can instantly present a navigable information tree visually in a way that you cannot audibly. If you don't understand what I mean, try calling a telephone banking system with forty-odd options in the menu, then imagine the same menu presented on a web page. |

You should also type out the first few words of your post, so that the posts can be indexed in a searchable, listable way instead of just speaker icons. |

"Speech is linear, text is non-linear." Nothing personal but, "Bullshit!" |

Please let us not be limited by the limited imaginations of the drones who design voicemail systems. Nor indeed by the grammatical poverty of the average forum denizen. |

Not exactly bullshit, [DrC]. Both are linear, but text lends itself better to fast non-linear presentation. And I'm fairly sure that the reason that phone menus are such a nightmare probably isn't that everyone who's tried to improve them over the last thirty years is a complete numpte. You could of course prove me wrong here... |

Forum posts are linear and do not have menus, he is not suggesting that the entire website navigation would be spoken. |

I suppose it could work then - it would still be slower though. |
