VoiceLink Beta Testers Wanted ... A New Accessible Way to Connect

Hey everyone, I’d love to invite the AppleVis community to help beta test VoiceLink, a new communication platform being built with accessibility and flexibility at its core. Note that my win11 keyboard has issues, so may have to manually enter links at the moment untill i can modify this. This is a fresh and interesting way to chat, connect, and communicate across platforms, with a strong focus on VoiceOver usability from the beginning. 🔗 Project Link Download here, https://voicelink.devinecreations.net/downloads-enhanced.html The site includes access to: * TestFlight for iOS https://testflight.apple.com/join/duD9ycHJ has,, macOS builds and server downloads Everything is organized on the downloads section of the site. ⸻ connect here... Voicelink Access https://chat.whatsapp.com/HesAnbKsTTN5neH11BxzSz 📱 Platforms Available Right Now Currently usable for testing: * macOS * iOS (via TestFlight) 🚧 Coming Soon * Windows support is present but not yet ready for public testing * Full web browser access is coming soon ⸻ 🎧 Audio Overview Coming Soon An audio overview / walkthrough of the platform will be available soon. If you’d prefer to listen first before testing, that’s completely fine. The overview will walk through the layout, features, and overall experience. ⸻ 💡 What Makes VoiceLink Different? VoiceLink is designed to be highly flexible. It supports: * self-hosted servers * existing hosted servers * custom deployments for communities For example, setups like: * voicelink.applevis.com * applevis.com/voicelink could be fully supported and would show directly inside the client. The client dynamically reflects what the server is running, including: * modules and features * version compatibility * rooms and services ⸻ 🔐 Authentication & Security VoiceLink includes flexible authentication options: * standard login systems * modular authentication methods * two-factor authentication (2FA / MFA) * Mastodon authentication support ⸻Note some features either on site, or in-app may or may not work quite yet as intended so keep that in mind when visiting any linked site pages or downloading any linked apps. Where possible use proper links on pages to contact me, or via email links where avalible. Submitting feedback on iOS app is possible within app in settings tab. Also within Macos advanced settings tab via CMD+,. CMD Comma... Features to Explore During Testing I would especially appreciate feedback on the following,: * rooms and channels * locked and unlocked rooms * room descriptions * room PIN code support * chat and interaction flow * webhook support for integrations * VoiceOver navigation * moderation tools and controls * admin features * server switching and login experience There is a Community server online and the main server as well. Moderation is designed to be flexible so communities can shape their own environments. Server Support (Optional) You can download and run your own VoiceLink server directly from the site. * If a server is set up, it may automatically appear in the client * Running your own server is not required for testing * You can simply install the client and connect to existing servers If you’re interested in running your own instance or want help setting one up, feel free to get in touch. Note that if you decide to launch a server, it will connect to the main one. All server related features etc would be managed through the macos client. In future will be managed through connected sites if any, such as blog site, via web uis . Development Stack VoiceLink is currently being developed using: * Codex * Claude Code alongside custom backend infrastructure. ⸻ 🎁 Early Tester Support Early users may receive up to 3 months of free server access in the future as a thank-you for helping support development. There are many ways to do so, just contact me directly if you want to test it out, via here or other methods. ⸻ 🚀 Closing This is an early-stage project with a big vision, and feedback from the AppleVis community will play a huge role in shaping it. If you’re interested, visit the main site, head to the downloads section for the TestFlight link and builds, and start exploring. Sound skeems buy Mathew Whitaker and myself. Thanks for helping build something accessible from the ground up, or at least reading! — Dom VoiceLink / Divine Creations
