Twitter is testing to a limited group on iOS the ability to add up to 140 seconds of voice in a tweet, with, currently, the ability for it to continue to a new audio tweet once the 140 seconds is reached. Once done, the tweet will show on your timeline. Any platform will play the audio.
Twitter4 says it plans to roll this out on iOS in the coming weeks, although there's no indication of when other platforms will gain this feature.

That would be interesting, although I don't know if voice messages would work on Twitter. Definitely an interesting experiment.

There was a startup based on the same premise, which was all the rave for a while. Not sure why it went quiet

Maybe the timing is everything (and existing base of 330 Mil can't hurt)

One of many signs that text will die a Kodak's death in the coming years. No one knows when, but the winter is coming - for sure.

Strikes me as when silent film went talkies...

So will not say "it won't fly", but will say that computer search will become an extreme nightmare as "voice to text" will become a requirement, not "something extra"...

Not sure how well the search engines will like it...

But that's a different story.

Why is Android not tested?
