This week Spoke Technologies launched its new SPOKEnPHOTO Album app for iPad, which lets users create shareable photo albums with their voice recorded on top of each picture. BetaKit first covered Spoke when it launched the SPOKEnPHOTO iPhone app in June 2012, the first in a planned suite of voice-powered mobile apps. SPOKEnPHOTO’s new iPad app lets users organize their photos into albums within the app, and use their built-in microphone to narrate each photo or record a message to loved ones.

In an interview with BetaKit, founder and CMO Lynne McEachern said that she and her co-fouunder created the app to stay in touch with long-distance friends and family. “We felt that photo sharing wasn’t quite meeting our needs. It was really hard to stay connected to our long-distance family and Skype is also hard to schedule across time zones, so we came up initially with the concept of the SPOKEnPHOTO Album iPad app for special events so that they can feel like they’re still part of them,” said McEachern.
