Here is a conversation on a similar subject:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?#!topic/tinode/72dJPN71vfA

To summarize:

1. Propose what voice messages should look like visually. Look at the examples from WeChat, Whatsapp, Telegram, FB Messenger

2. Read Drafty documentation https://github.com/tinode/chat/blob/devel/docs/drafty.md.

3. Come up with a proposal for Drafty to encapsulate the voice data. It should be very similar to images an attachments: small files should be sent inline, large files uploaded to the cloud.

4. Talk to me, make sure I agree with your proposal.

5. Select the client you want to work with first: webapp, Android or iOS.  Make sure you understand how the client implements Drafty.

6. Implement and test the proposal.

7. Send me a pull request.
