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!

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
Daniel Benoit
Sometimes is do. But I think normally a call or a short text is more sufficient. Don't you?
Ivan Makarov
@danielbenoit when hands are busy, it might be tricky; Also voice messages is a call but in async mode :)
Paul Mit
Nope. Should I?

actually i am making some kind of diary .. and implemented choice to record audio though it's not like all use it .. most people prefer write .. and i am the same .. only Diary hard_users use it
Ivan Makarov
@xeno1 sounds cool! And product looks very nice! Do you transcribe voice, or store as it is, as audio track?
Ruslan.D
@ivan_makarov1 as a track i think about transcribing .. but may be later .. while it's completely free

I suppose the user journey is longer than just record a voice memo. I have to manage it after and it struggles
Ivan Makarov
@ternome imagine you have a tool to land these voice memos with transcription to Notion. Would it be convenient? Like ad-hoc diary with less effort to write and manage
Vova Krasilnikov
Voice messages sure. When my hands are blocked
Artyom Sviridov
Nah, not a big fan :) I prefer text messages.
Rihab Zaidi
yes, especially when communicating with text sometimes can confuse or when need to explain something that was miscommunicated many times.

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
Ivan Makarov
@kgrebenjukov Imagine you have semantic search over your voice memos, does it change anything?
