A voice message | Kish - Smart Island

Say it out loud instead of writing it.

What would you like to tell us?

Your recording

Up to 3 files, 50 MB each: MP3, OGG, OGA, WAV, M4A, AAC.

Where in Kish?

A street, a neighbourhood or a landmark is enough.

If you would like an answer

Optional. Without any of these we can read what you sent but cannot reply to it.

Your name

Mobile number

You may use my name if you publish this

Leave this unticked and anything published stays anonymous, whatever you wrote above.

Sending a voice message

Say who you are and where you are, if you are willing to — it is much easier to follow up on a recording that begins with that.

Somewhere quiet, and close to the phone. Wind and traffic make a recording unusable faster than anything else.

If you are recording someone else, they must know. Recording a conversation and sending it without the other person’s knowledge is not something we can publish, and in many situations it is not lawful.

We may publish a recording as sound, or use what you said as text with your name or without it — you decide which when you send it.

MP3, OGG, WAV, M4A or AAC, up to 50 MB.

Your work stays yours — and it must be yours

Send only what you made yourself. Do not send photographs, video, audio or writing made by somebody else — not from Instagram or Telegram, not from a news site, not from a stock library, and not a screenshot of any of them. If you did not take it or write it, we cannot use it.

You keep the copyright. Sending it here does not transfer ownership. What you give us is permission to publish it on this platform and on the accounts belonging to it, alongside your name if you have asked for that.

We may not publish it at all, and we may shorten, crop or caption what we do publish. Nothing is published automatically — a person reads everything first.

Other people in the frame matter. If somebody is identifiable and the setting is private, ask them first. Children need the agreement of a parent.

If you later change your mind, write to us with the reference number you are given and we will take it down.

What the law here does not allow

This platform is published from Kish and follows the laws of Iran, including the rules for computer crimes and for publishing.

Please do not send: anything filmed inside a military, security or restricted area; other people’s private information — telephone numbers, addresses, documents or medical details; accusations against a named person or organisation that you cannot support; anything obscene, or anything that insults a religion or an ethnic group.

Photographing or filming inside customs areas, airport security zones and port facilities is restricted. If a sign or an official says no, that is the answer.

A report about a crime or an emergency belongs with the authorities first — call 110 for police, 115 for an ambulance and 125 for fire. Sending it here does not reach them.

This is a summary written to be useful, not legal advice. What you send remains your responsibility.
