Same speed to a stranger. One less mode on the page.
Omezy (omezy.io) is a browser random chat with three separate queues, text, voice and video, each on its own page. HearMe has two of those three and leaves the third out on purpose: there is no camera mode to choose against, because there is no camera mode at all. If you came for the voice or text door and want a site where video is not on the menu, start below. The rest of this page compares what each site says it offers, checked against Omezy's own pages in October 2026. It compares features only.
What Omezy offers, by its own pages
Omezy pairs you with one stranger at a time in one of three queues: text, voice or video. Each queue has its own page. Starting as a guest means confirming you are 18+, adding one optional interest and pressing Start; a free account allows more interests and lifts a daily allowance and a cap on how long a single call runs. It says there is no paid tier.
Its home page describes the voice queue as talk with no camera, and its blog says the camera stays off in voice chat and that text is the fully anonymous way to use the site. Both are real no-camera doors. What is different about HearMe is structural: Omezy is a site with a video queue that also runs two no-camera queues, while HearMe has never had a camera page. The voice chat and text chat pages are the whole product.
Voice and text, side by side
| Omezy voice/text | HearMe | |
|---|---|---|
| How you get there | Pick the Voice or Text card, confirm 18+, press Start | Pick voice or text, choose a nickname, start |
| Matching | Interest-first, widens on its own; same-country on by default; someone you skip is not matched with you again for a while | Interest tags bias the queue, then anyone after 20 seconds; country filter with Premium |
| What you see | — | A nickname, a country flag, a shared-interest line |
| Skip | — | Next, one tap |
| After the chat | Where it offers one, a chat log saved by your browser | Friend request and DMs with a free account |
| Group option | None | Open text rooms, shown only when people are in them |
| Guest limits | A daily allowance and a cap on call length | None |

What HearMe adds
- Rooms and a ring: when the queue is quiet at your hour, join a room that has people in it, or ask to be rung when someone arrives. HearMe never lists an empty room.
- A way to keep a good conversation: your last 20 matches stay in a private history for seven days, and a free account lets you send a friend request and keep a DM thread, with nicknames only.
- A per-person block: a signed-in user can block someone so they are never matched again.
- No guest limits: no daily cap and no per-call cap.
What Omezy offers that HearMe does not
A video queue. If the camera is the point, Omezy has that mode and HearMe does not, and no amount of comparison changes it. Omezy also matches within your country by default, which is a sensible way to share a language at quiet hours; on HearMe the country filter is a Premium option, and free matching is worldwide. Its pages are also candid about what it is not, which is a fair way to write a site.
Why people switch from Omezy
Omezy's voice and text queues are real no-camera doors, so wanting something different usually comes down to the site around them. A person may want a site where video is not on the menu at all, a conversation that can continue after it ends, or a room to wait in when the queue is quiet. These are preferences, not criticisms, and Omezy's own pages describe what it does. Here is what HearMe offers against each want.
| You want | On HearMe |
|---|---|
| A site with no video queue | No video mode on any page |
| To keep a good conversation | Friend request and DMs with a free account |
| No guest caps | No daily limit and no per-call cap |
| A group option | Open text rooms, listed when people are in them |
| A way to find a recent match again | Match history: your last 20 matches from the past 7 days, visible only to you |
| Someone never matched again | Block, for signed-in users |
Which one
If you want a camera-on conversation, use a video site. If you were going to pick a voice or text door anyway, HearMe gives you that conversation on a site with no video mode at all, no guest caps, and rooms and an opt-in ring for the quiet hours. Start a text chat or a voice call, see the rest of the field on the compare hub, or read the Omegleweb alternative page if that is the site you were looking for.

Frequently asked questions
Is HearMe free?
Yes, with no daily limit and no account required. Premium adds filters, priority in matching and a badge, never the ability to take part.
What is a good Omezy alternative with no video?
HearMe. It is free voice and text chat with one stranger at a time, with no video mode anywhere on the site and no sign-up to start.
Do I need to sign up for either?
Neither requires sign-up to start. Omezy's guest mode has a daily allowance and a per-call cap that a free account lifts; HearMe asks for a nickname and has no daily limit for guests.
Is HearMe like Omegle or Omezy?
It is the same idea, one stranger at a time, minus the camera. Omezy describes itself as an Omegle alternative; HearMe is its own site with voice and text only. This page compares features and makes no claim about who runs either site.
Does Omezy have a voice-only mode like HearMe?
Yes. Omezy's voice queue has its own page and, by its own description, never asks for the camera. Omezy also runs a video queue on the same site; HearMe has no video mode anywhere.
Omezy or HearMe: which one has video?
Omezy has a video queue. HearMe does not have video at all: no video mode, no camera request, no camera permission prompt.
Can I chat with interests on HearMe like on Omezy?
Yes. Interest tags bias the queue toward people who picked the same ones, and after about 20 seconds you are matched with anyone waiting.
Does HearMe record calls?
No. Only a report sends a short clip for review, deleted after seven days unless a moderator confirms the report as child safety or under 18; then it is kept as evidence for one year.
Does HearMe have rooms or group chat?
Yes. The General text room is always open with the real count on it, and other rooms appear only when people are active in them. Omezy describes itself as 1:1 only.
Is Omezy safe?
We can only describe HearMe. There is no video on HearMe, every text message passes an under-18 check, reports are read by a person, calls are not recorded and the site is 18+ only. On any random chat site, check the age rule and the report option first.
