Texterview is an evolving archive of human experience — a space to share your story, reflect, listen to others, and explore life from many perspectives.
People answer questions in their own words, spoken or written.
Our mission is to amplify authentic voices, fostering empathy, connection, and a deeper understanding of our shared humanity.
Texterviews may include sensitive or challenging topics. The opinions expressed are those of the individuals and do not represent the platform. Please approach with openness and care.
🙂Welcome!
I’m Pteyra, creator of Texterview.
I’ll walk you through how everything works in a moment, but first, let’s begin with what Texterview is really about: real voices and experiences.
Here are some of the latest Texterviews, both written and recorded.

Texterview Podcast
Written stories from people sharing in their own words. Authentic, unedited text responses published as blog posts.
Voices from around the world. Spoken responses turned into podcast episodes — raw, real, and human.
Listen to Texterview on your favorite podcast platform
Apple Podcasts isn’t available yet — I kept running into verification errors.
The player below features the most recent episodes. For full access to every story, head to the Texterview Podcast page.
So, how exactly does it work?
You’ve seen the outcomes — now I’ll show you the journey behind each Texterview.
Texterview is different from anything else online.
It isn’t a social feed. It isn’t a survey.
It’s something more intentional.
There’s so much I want to share with you about Texterview — so this page might go a bit deep.
But first, let’s start with how it actually works. Step by step.
You don’t join a live interview or talk to anyone. Texterview happens entirely through forms — quiet, personal, and on your terms.
It’s anonymous on purpose. No names. No faces. Just your truth.
From anywhere in the world. In your own words, written or spoken.
Every Texterview begins with a form, built for that story.
The form becomes your space. That’s where Texterview happens.
Before you dive in, you get to decide:
– What kind of Texterview fits your story (type)
– And how you want to tell it (format)
Texterview meets you where you are.
So first: the types. Here’s what you can choose from.
Topic Texterview
Choose from curated question sets on specific topics. Each form is thoughtfully crafted and the same for everyone who selects that topic.
Personalized Texterview
Request a unique set of questions created specifically for your story. No two personalized Texterviews are alike.
Type gives you the questions. Format is how you respond. Let’s look at your options.
Text
01
Prefer typing? Every Texterview can be answered in writing — because how you tell your story is up to you.
Voice
02
Prefer speaking? Every Texterview can be answered in your own voice — raw, real, and entirely yours.
The easiest way to understand Texterview is to experience it.
Start by exploring the curated Texterview forms.
Even if you don’t answer them, just opening a form shows you what Texterview feels like — the kinds of questions, the structure, the flow, and how each story unfolds.
The forms are designed to give you space to think, reflect, and answer in your own way — whether you write or speak.
And if you don’t see your story reflected in the existing topics, you’re not limited. You can request a Personalized Texterview, and I’ll create a form crafted just for your perspective.
That’s the heart of Texterview: it all begins in the forms.
Exploring them gives you everything you need to understand the process before you share your own story.
They guide you through every step, naturally and at your own pace.
Even though exploring the forms is the best way to understand Texterview, I’ll give a summary here of what to lexpect, how it works, and your rights — so you can feel ready before you start.
What to Expect
That’s it for now.
Once you start a form, you’ll be guided step by step — with honest explanations, helpful choices, and total control every step of the way.
You don’t have to prepare.
You just have to show up — as you are.

Once you’ve begun, everything unfolds at your pace.
And when you’re ready to share, when you hit submit, that’s when my part begins.
I take it from there with care, intention, and respect.
What Happens After You Submit
Texterviews don’t hit the internet right away — they first sit with me, quietly.
When you click submit, your story comes to me — one human, listening for the heart of it.
I read or listen to every response with care. I might adjust the flow, remove background noise, or make sure your message comes through clearly — but I never rewrite your story. You’re still you.
Texterview began as something personal: a space I created to listen, to learn, to understand the quiet truths people carry. I never expected it to grow. But I’m glad it did.
What hasn’t changed is how I treat every submission: like a conversation meant for me first.
That’s how deeply I listen. That’s how much it matters.
Once I’ve spent time with your Texterview and feel it’s ready to share, I prepare it for release — as a blog post or a podcast episode, depending on the format you chose.
If it’s going on the podcast, I’ll check in with you before it goes live. You’ll always know.
Nothing is automated. Nothing is rushed. Everything is intentional.
One story at a time — honored as it deserves to be.
At its core, this is simple: your story is yours. Sharing it through Texterview doesn’t change that. Here’s how it works.
Your Rights & Control
You Still Own Your Story
Sharing your Texterview doesn’t mean giving it away. It’s still yours — fully and completely. That never changes.
Here’s what that really means:
You own your full Texterview
Whether it’s published as a blog post or released as a podcast episode, it’s still 100% yours. That includes your original response and any edits I make — whether I tidy things up, adjust flow, or compile your voice into a story. You’re not just the source — you’re the owner of the final piece, too.
You’re giving permission — not ownership
When you submit a Texterview, you’re granting me non-exclusive permission to share it through Texterview. That means I can post it — but you can still use your story anywhere else:
On your blog, in a book, in a film, with a brand, in your newsletter, wherever.
No restrictions. No exclusivity. It’s still yours.
You can request edits or removal
Want to update something? Need a section clarified? Changed your mind and want your Texterview taken down completely?
You can request edits or request removal.
Just reach out — I’ll handle it. No pressure, no questions asked.
What About Third Parties?
Your Texterview belongs to you — which means you decide if, when, or how others can share or use it.
Sometimes, people may want to feature your story in their own work (such as documentaries, books, articles, or research projects).
When that happens:
Your contact information is never shared automatically. Instead, they complete a Feature Request Form, where they explain:
Once I receive their request, I check your Story Feature Preferences — the choice you made when you filled out your Texterview form.
You can choose one of the following:
- Yes, forward all requests — I’ll decide case-by-case
- Yes, but only paid opportunities
- No, please decline all requests on my behalf
If a request matches your selected preference, I’ll forward it to you clearly and transparently.
If it doesn’t, you won’t be contacted at all.
And if you ever change your mind, you can update your preference anytime — just email me at pteyra@texterview.com
Why All This?
Texterview was built to amplify voices that don’t usually get heard this way — in full, raw, personal depth.
That means:
Your voice. Your terms. Your story. Always.
Everything about Texterview — including how it’s sustained — is intentional. No ads. No noise. Just care, exchanged honestly.
This isn’t a business. It’s a space. And here’s how it stays open, without selling what it’s for.
How Texterview Is Sustained
Texterview is held with care — slowly, by hand, and never for sale.
There are no ads here, no sponsors, no noise — that’s intentional.
Sustainability still matters, but never at the cost of what makes this space human.
That’s why any monetization happens outside this website — through social pages like YouTube, Facebook, or Instagram, where short clips and stories may earn modest income.
Those earnings simply help cover costs and keep this space open — not change how it feels or what it’s for.
And sometimes, contributors share things they’ve created — projects, shops, or heartfelt work — when submitting their Texterview.
I may feature these gently across the site, wherever they naturally fit, under something I call Made by Voices.
It’s not advertising; it’s acknowledgment — a small way to give back.
The world outside sustains the space inside.
Here, meaning comes before money.
Just by being here — reading slowly, listening deeply —
you’re already part of what sustains this space.
The Texterview Blog
Want a peek behind the curtain? The blog is where I share what’s happening, what I’m thinking, and what’s next.
Sometimes messy. Always honest.
Live Chat
Think of this as texting me. Whether you want to ask questions, share ideas, report problems, or just talk about Texterview — it all starts here.
Every conversation helps shape Texterview into something better.
Just tap the purple chat button at the bottom right to start.
I didn’t want to add accounts to Texterview.
No feeds. No profiles. No comment sections. None of that.
But I needed a way for you to bookmark Texterviews that resonate, and come back to them.
So that’s the only reason accounts exist.
One feature. That’s it.
No social stuff. No extras. Just a quiet way to hold onto the stories that stay with you.
Who the fuck is Pteyra???
Hiiii! I’m Pteyra, creator of Texterview.
Texterview is where I turn my love for slow, honest conversation into something real.
It’s my way of holding conversations without ever needing to be in the room.
A space where people can open themselves on their own terms, and I can learn without intruding.
My mantra: Be you, do your thinggg, hurt nobody, don’t let nobody FW you.
Everything else is freestyle. I build projects, I rant, I explore, I just be doing shit.
Some days I wanna disappear and let the world forget me. Other days I wanna roam, dive into cultures, collect pieces of life.
Freedom is the only thing I answer to.
My socials are just me wandering, building, ranting, being free.
And in case you’re wondering about a face reveal.
Some people I Texterviewed before the relaunch already know what I look like.
As I’ve grown, I’ve realized I don’t really want to put myself out there. Just preference.
I used to think showing my face was necessary for trust.
But Texterview isn’t built on faces. It’s built on voices, stories, and how safely people can exist here.
For now, I’m choosing presence without visibility.
If the relaunch works and people really want a face reveal… we’ll see. Maybe we’ll put it to a poll or something lol.
