Let visitors record and send voice messages right from your site – no login, no forms, no typing – and manage every recording from one dashboard. Voice Feedback | Pricing | Support Why Voice Feedback? Typing feedback takes effort, so most visitors never do it. Voice Feedback makes it easy for visitors to leave audio feedback – and even screen video feedback – on your WordPress site. They simply record their voice; no login or personal details needed. The plugin adds a voice recording field to your site using a floating drawer, a notification/banner style, a sticky button, a Gutenberg block, or a shortcode. All voice messages are saved in the admin panel, where you can listen to them, mark them as resolved, manage, or delete them as needed. Perfect for blogs, portfolios, education sites, product pages, or any website where collecting user feedback matters. Built with a lightweight, user-friendly interface for reliable voice feedback collection. Free Features Voice Recording Field for Users: Visitors record their voice directly from your site without needing an account. Review Before Submit: Users can play back their message before sending and re-record if needed. Admin Voice Library: All submitted voice messages are stored in an organized dashboard. Playback and Management: Listen to each recording, mark it as resolved, or delete it. Full Customization: Customize every Voice Feedback instance to match your site design and workflow. Multiple Display Options: Show a voice feedback drawer site-wide, or add specific instances via block or shortcode. Smooth Animations: Animated feedback forms create a polished, professional user experience. Lightweight and Secure: No personal data is collected; focused only on voice-based interaction. Spam Protection & CAPTCHA: Protect your site from automated spam bots using Cloudflare Turnstile and rate limiting – completely free. Pro Version Here is what’s new in Voice Feedback Pro: Admin Email Notifications: Get instant email alerts when a user submits voice feedback. Customize the subject and message body, with the option to attach the recorded audio file. Screen Recording Option: Users can record their screen along with their voice for clear, actionable feedback. Advanced Display Triggers: Control when the global feedback appears – always show, after a scroll limit, when the user reaches the bottom, on scroll down, when a target section enters view, after X seconds, or while a target section is visible. Hide on Scroll Up: Automatically hide the feedback form when users scroll up for a cleaner browsing experience. Position Control: Change where your global feedback appears on the screen. Advanced Customization: Fully customizable color, background color, text typography, and responsiveness. How to Use Install and activate the Voice Feedback plugin. A voice feedback drawer appears automatically on your site. Visit Voice Library → Settings to customize or disable the drawer. To place feedback on specific pages, add the Voice Feedback Gutenberg block or generate a shortcode from the Voice Library menu. Listen to and manage submissions from the Voice Library dashboard.
