Lora has like 12k max bandwidth, much less in real environments. Voice works in asymmetric transmission (like walkie talkies), but it's not useful in any meaningful way over unlicensed airwaves.

I read somewhere that the new version was supposed to improve that and make it viable for talking. I might be wrong though.

Analog, yes, no problem. We had 915MHz portable phones that worked fine. Digital is another matter altogether, and encrypted is a licensing mess.
