I agree for with your reasons, but if they add a transcript feature, and allow 2x playback speed, this could be handy. You could choose to read vs listen / watch. There is a advantage to voice / video which is that you can detect tone and nuance much more readily. You can also listen to your messages while running or driving.

When you’re driving please focus on driving or you’ll end up killing someone.

If you’re paying attention to driving you’re not paying (full) attention to messages; you’ll have to listen to them again once you stop. So just use email :)

I agree loloquwowndueo: safety first - don't text and drive or do anything distracting while driving, including listening to work-related voice messages.

Thanks christophilus, we're actually looking into integrating playback speed option down the road.
