Patent attributes
Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for verifying sending of a voice or multimedia message. The system improves significantly over previous systems by preventing unwanted recording of messages, while also providing expedient user operation. A computing device receives a first trigger operation representing an instruction to generate a voice or multimedia message. The computing device records the voice or multimedia message, and receives a second trigger operation. In response to determining that the second trigger operation represents a send verification instruction, the device sends the voice or multimedia message to a second user or group. In response to determining that the second trigger operation represents a null instruction, the device cancels sending the voice or multimedia message.
