yes, especially when communicating with text sometimes can confuse or when need to explain something that was miscommunicated many times.
Voice messages sure. When my hands are blocked
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
I suppose the user journey is longer than just record a voice memo. I have to manage it after and it struggles

Sometimes is do. But I think normally a call or a short text is more sufficient. Don't you?
@danielbenoit when hands are busy, it might be tricky; Also voice messages is a call but in async mode :)
@ivan_makarov1 as a track
i think about transcribing .. but may be later .. while it's completely free

Nah, not a big fan :) I prefer text messages.
Not really. Which specific situations do you see voice memos as useful?
@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
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
@kgrebenjukov Imagine you have semantic search over your voice memos, does it change anything?
