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.

Project and Downloads

Main download page:
VoiceLink Downloads

From there you can access:

iOS TestFlight
Join the TestFlight Beta
macOS builds
Server downloads

Community Access

Join the testing group:
VoiceLink WhatsApp Group

Platforms Available Now

macOS
iOS (via TestFlight)

Coming Soon

Windows support (not ready for public testing yet)
Full web browser access

Audio Overview (Coming Soon)

An audio walkthrough will be available soon covering the layout, features, and overall experience.

What Makes VoiceLink Different?

VoiceLink is designed to be flexible and adaptable.

It supports:

Self-hosted servers
Hosted servers
Custom deployments

Examples:

voicelink.applevis.com
applevis.com/voicelink

The client dynamically reflects each server, including:

Features and modules
Version compatibility
Rooms and services

Authentication and Security

VoiceLink includes flexible authentication options:

Standard login systems
Modular authentication methods
Two-factor authentication (2FA / MFA)
Mastodon authentication

Some features may not fully work yet as this is still in early testing.

Features to Test

Feedback would be especially helpful on:

Rooms and channels
Locked and unlocked rooms
Room descriptions
PIN-protected rooms
Chat and interaction flow
Webhook integrations
VoiceOver navigation
Moderation tools
Admin features
Server switching and login experience

There is both a main server and a community server available for testing.

Server Support (Optional)

You can run your own VoiceLink server:

Download it from the main site
It may automatically appear in the client
Running your own server is not required

Notes:

Servers connect to the main network
Currently managed through the macOS client
Web-based management will be added later

If you want help setting one up, feel free to reach out.

Development Stack

VoiceLink is currently being developed using:

Codex
Claude Code
Custom backend infrastructure

Early Tester Support

Early testers may receive up to three months of free server access in the future.

If you're interested, feel free to get in touch.

Feedback Options

iOS: Settings → Feedback
macOS: Press CMD + , (Command + Comma)

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.

not a good start ....

instead of all the fancy imojes please ensure the links are clickable when using screenreaders as not a good start, in terms of accessibility to even get more info on the app.

manually getting link for now...

fixed it so you can manually get link and go to it in browser or chrome&Safari.

it's for macs

the reason the testflight is not working on iOS is because it's for macOS, as evendenced by this thread.

Confusing

I was able to access the test flight link but doing it manually but I’m not very impressed with just the layout over all, it is very confusing and almost overwhelming.

working on Windows now

Hoefuly this next build for windows will work. or web view inbuild browser view...

Where

Where is it overwelming for you... did any crash acurre as well

testflight is iOS

No, the testflight is for iOS. i have to add a new build, will do that soon or in a few days. no worries. testing with my 14.

testflight link is inaccessible with VoiceOver.

for a developer who claims to be building an accessible community type app, the testflight link and the link to the website is inaccessible. this is a huge oversite, and should be rectified. I will not test until you have an accessible testflight, link, as i cannot test with the current implimentation. good luck, but as someone said, not a great start.

More on Testflight

Sorry keyboard issues here, a letter is stuck or not working at times and have no idea why, its a function key issue I think. But Testflight version will merror the Macos version a lot at some time, as for rules from Testflight adn building there, features later on offered will have to be offered for subscribes... This has been a fun thing to do for the last few years, I been working on this with the tools. Finally could get the dev account in March.

Downloads on link in main comment

Hi, the main comment I started has the link to the downloads url where downloading the Macos version is done. One main reason I started this because of TT on Mac being inaccessible, and wanted to try something new so thought, why not.

yeah not a good look

Just by this post alone not a good look. Plus, not that hard to make clickable links. I'm not gunna wanna copy paste to a link that may or may not, work. What's wrong with people! Plus, clean up your sentences. Can't even read this shit! Links are all over the place on same lines, sentences are jumbled yeah. hard pass. Sighs what's wrong with some devs! If your app's interface is so confusing that your users cannot navigate and you claim to be a blind dev? wow! What did you just put this all into AI and called it a day because if ya did? I ain't going for that! my Gawd! Least put in some effort. Not lazy shit like this cause it damn well shows.
