Ivan Makarov · Answer

@danielbenoit when hands are busy, it might be tricky; Also voice messages is a call but in async mode :)

Annie Chopra · Answer

My issue with voice notes is- I love sending them but I hate receiving them lol I find it easy to communicate using them but I need time to listen when I receive them so it takes me a long time to get back to people if i receive them -but sometimes I have to say it's much more fun than texting

Ivan Makarov · Answer

@xeno1 sounds cool! And product looks very nice!
 Do you transcribe voice, or store as it is, as audio track?

Ivan Makarov · Answer

@henry_habib i use voice memos to catch my ideas on the go and transcribe them to notion to process later

Also, it is perfect way to guide team when you are always moving and away from keyboard

Answer

voice messages - many consider them impolite way to communicate, but with some of my friends I use it when we both agree it's cool. I also send voice messages go our family chat cause I know everyone would be fine to receive them (and for my mom to hear my sweet voice 😁)

voice memos - I like to use them to record thoughts and ideas when I am out and about, but most of the services "voice to text" are not of good quality (or my accent is too thick for them to recognise my speech 😆)

are you working on some voice related product?

Rihab Zaidi · Answer

yes, especially when communicating with text sometimes can confuse or when need to explain something that was miscommunicated many times.

Vova Krasilnikov · Answer

Voice messages sure. When my hands are blocked

Sergei Terno · Answer

I suppose the user journey is longer than just record a voice memo. I have to manage it after and it struggles

Daniel Benoit · Answer

Sometimes is do. But I think normally a call or a short text is more sufficient. Don't you?

Sherry L · Answer

I only use it when I have a long story to send to a friend through a messenger app. Otherwise I would not use it!

Kirill Grebenjukov · Answer

I don't use voice memos and rarely voice messages. I hate voice messages in business communications because it's not guaranteed that you counterpart can listen for it right now (I'm often can't and discussion is stuck for a while) and it almost unusable later because there is no search capability
