How long can my chirbit be?
Recording from a webcam or mic there is roughly a 2 minute time limit.(I am working on extending this.) If you upload an mp3 or wav there is a 120MB file size limit which translates to about 2hours of mp3 or about 10 minutes of wav

How do I upload voice messages from Google Voice?
I opened up a voice message from Google voice in Audacity, trimmed off the edges and exported is back out as an .mp3 and it uploaded perfectly. When I uploaded the raw .mp3 , not so much. I will look into this. I will make a tutorial on the process I used. Hopefuly Google will release an API and upload to chribit from Google voice can be automated.
What audio types can I upload?
You can upload mp3, m4a and wav files. If you upload a wav or m4a file it is converted to mp3. If you upload an mp3, it is not reencoded. Make sure your mp3 is stereo and at least 22050Hz
