Voice and Text Mail Pros and Cons

When it comes to messaging someone, you've got two options nowadays: you can either send a text or a voice message. Recently though, there's been a lot of discussion about which method is more preferable, and voice messaging consistently catches a lot of flak. So today I'd like to discuss the pros and cons of both types of messaging,

Text messaging is the conventional type of messaging everyone is most familiar with. Its biggest advantage is, in my opinion, the ability to structure what you want to say, develop your ideas, organize a sort of "flow" within the message to make it easier to take in and understand. I call this attribute 'quality'.
When it comes to speed, it's best to consider both parties taking part in the communication. For the sender, typing a message takes quite some time; however, it takes seconds for the receiver to read the message and understand it clearly.
Another important thing to consider is privacy. It's possible to type and read any message in a discreet manner and maintain your privacy.

Voice messaging is extremely new when compared to text messaging. Its unique quality must be the fact that it allows people to convey a greater range of emotions in their messages. Some of my groupmates also think this way.
Voice mail's another cited advantage is its speed. But again, it's important to consider both sides: the sender and the recipient. While recording a message is quicker than typing one, listening takes more time than reading. What we're able to hear is limited by the sender's speech speed, and the average person speaks roughly 130 words per minute in casual conversation. Meanwhile, average reading speed is estimated to be around 228 words per minute in English (and 184 words per minute in Russian).
The quality of voice messages is lacking as well. It's harder to structure what you want to say in speech, and as a result, the message may have a lot of unnecessary information, bloating a message with an otherwise simple idea.
Privacy issues are also present in voice messaging. Unless you have headphones, it's near impossible to listen to a voice message and keep it private in a public setting. Discreet recording would also prove to be difficult in such situations.

All in all, voice messaging seems to be objectively worse than text messaging.
