# Voice-Based Dating Apps The Revealer Web Dating App Lets Vocal Messages Intrigue Matches First By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-03-15 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/web-dating-app References: [time](http://time.com/13885/this-dating-app-lets-you-snag-a-hottie-using-your-voice-not-your-face/) & [itunes.apple](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id816199884?mt=8) Revealer is a new [web dating app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/when-we-first) that saves people the trouble of having to use compelling images or a snappy profile to get matches. Instead, the app helps users connect purely based on the sounds of their voices. This approach is designed to let people do the judging on a 20-second recording versus a profile image. Like [Tinder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blind-date1), the app allows its users to flip through different dating profiles and indicate if they would like to learn more with a swipe to the right. If there’s a [mutual match](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spark-dating), the singles get to see what one another looks like and can engage in a conversation. Because of the nature of the Revealer app, people have been quick to jokingly call it a dating service for people with faces better suited for the radio than TV. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Voice-based Dating:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing voice-based dating platforms that prioritize audio interactions over traditional profile images. - **Sound-based Interactions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating apps that connect people based on the sounds of their voices, allowing for a more unique and personalized dating experience. - **Alternative Dating Approaches:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring unconventional methods, like voice recording, to facilitate more meaningful connections in the online dating sphere. ### Who This Affects Most - **Online Dating Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implementing voice-based features in existing online dating platforms to enhance user engagement and differentiate from competitors. - **Artificial Intelligence:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Leveraging AI technology to analyze and match users based on their voice profiles, offering a more accurate matchmaking process. - **Social Networking Platforms:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrating voice-based dating features into popular social networking platforms to expand their functionality and attract a new user base. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Video-Enabled Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candid-dating-app.md) - [User-Validating Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seen-dating-app.md) - [Real-Time Video Matching](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/call-me-maybe.md) - [Blind Date App Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blind-date1.md) - [Authentic Video Dating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibing.md) - [AI-Assisted Dating Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/overtone-app.md) - [Dating App Personality Showcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wudya.md) - [Unfiltered Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raw-dating-app.md) - [Music-Focused Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vinylly.md)
