    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

    @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

    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 :)

    @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

    Not really. Which specific situations do you see voice memos as useful?
    Ivan Makarov
    @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 only use it when I have a long story to send to a friend through a messenger app. Otherwise I would not use it!

    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?
