Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Earlier this year, you made Vowel the #1 Product of the Day, making us an even stronger contender in the video conferencing space. Today, we want to show you how Vowel has completely changed traditional video conferencing by turning your meetings into searchable, shareable knowledge. In meetings, you're sharing ideas. You're getting people to agree. You’re giving feedback. You're making big decisions. But when the meeting is over, all of that just disappears. Why let all that knowledge go to waste? The fastest growing remote teams aren't — they're using Vowel. With Vowel, not only can you host more engaging and focused meetings — you can have infinite recall of the insights and decisions that come out of those conversations, so they don’t get stuck in time. Here’s what’s new to help you 10x the value of your meetings: 🔈Even faster live transcription + recording - Easily record, transcribe, and take shared notes in every meeting to build a library of company knowledge, instantly. 🔍 Universal search - Remember anything that happened, ever, with a universal search across your meeting transcripts, notes, and action items. ✂️ Clips - Trim, share, and save clips to provide timely context into technical issues, decisions, or customer insights. 🔖 Bookmarks - Mark and categorize important meeting moments as they happen, then quickly share or revisit them later. ↩️ One-click export - Integrate important knowledge across all your productivity tools. 🗒️ Recurring notes - Start right where you left off. Quickly reference past notes and action items in a current meeting, so nothing falls through the cracks. 📱 Mobile app (iOS and Android) - Attend Vowel meetings on the go, and easily join the discussion, transcribe, record, and see shared notes. 🔒 Best-in-class security - Vowel is now SOC2 Type II compliant, which ensures strict information and security policies. What Vowel can unlock for remote teams: ✅ Remember anything that happened in a meeting ✅ Reduce meeting fatigue ✅ Get better at async communication ✅ Share and be more inclusive across time zones ✅ Build an awesome remote onboarding experience ✅ Cut down on the number of tools in your tech stack Try Vowel for free Zoom and other big video conferencing players require an upgrade if you want to try transcription or recording. Not Vowel! These features are included (even on our free plan). Sign up here 🎁 Product Hunt offer: The first 250 people who upgrade to a Vowel Business Monthly plan and use the code PRODUCTHUNT2022OCT will get 3 months for free. We’d love to hear your thoughts, questions, and feedback in the comments. Thanks so much for checking it out! – Andy and The Vowel Team P.S. We also love a good tweet — send feedback or wish list items our way at @VowelHQ.
Nok Moe
@vowelhq @andrew_berman Does each member have it's own 120 mins? Or do they all share the same limits
Michał
Thank you @vowelhq @andrew_berman Very excited to be a part of this!
Michał
Thank you for the support @pavell2l We'll check it out
Erin Letson
Hi @nok_moe, each member can have meetings up to 50 minutes (on the free plan), up to 120 minutes (on the Pro plan), and up to 10 hours (on the Business Plan). This is the time limit for an individual meeting — there's no cap on how many meetings you can have! Let me know if that makes sense or check out https://www.vowel.com/pricing/
David May
@vowelhq @andrew_berman congrats on the launch upvoted and fabulous work. check out ours as well and would love your feedback
George Chasiotis
Vowel is a top-notch video conferencing software with capabilities many other tools lack. I particularly like the fact that I can see the time each attendee has spoken so we can give more speaking time to those whose voice hasn't been heard much during an internal or external call. Also, the fact that you can have your own meeting room (e.g., meeting link) and share it with others to jump on a call within seconds with no friction whatsoever makes the whole meeting experience much more enjoyable. Well done on the launch, and way to go to the amazing team at Vowel! 🙏🏻
Andy Berman
@georgios_chasiotis Thanks for the feedback! We're trying hard to build what's next in this category!
Erin Letson
@georgios_chasiotis Thanks! I love having a personal meeting room link to use in Calendly or to jump into quick ad hoc calls. :)
Ben
@georgios_chasiotis Thanks for your support and the great feedback!
Anna Marie Clifton
@georgios_chasiotis I love the talk time feature too. Let's me make sure I'm hearing from everyone on the call and no dominating the conversation ;)
Nick Russell
Congrats on the launch!
Nick Russell

Michał Domański
I'm a power user of Vowel for quite a while. What can I say - I'm lovin' it. This tool shifted my meetings paradigm from trying to note and keep track of everything during the call to being THERE and listening 100%. Truly a gamechanger.
Andy Berman
@michal_domanski thanks for the feedback Michal! We love having you.
Erin Letson
@michal_domanski Love hearing this! It's way easier to be present in a meeting when you're not worried about missing anything.
Ben
@michal_domanski Thank you for your support!
Anna Marie Clifton
@michal_domanski GAME CHANGER! That's what I keep saying too!
Paul Fisher
@michal_domanski Amazing! I love hearing about how Vowel has changed the way people have meetings — especially in terms of being able to focus on being there and listening vs scrambling to transcribe and take detailed notes. Thanks for the kind words and for being a Vowel Power user!
Shubham Mishra
Its really easy to use and the features it has are really great and useful
Andy Berman
@shubham_mishra17 Great to hear!
Erin Letson
@shubham_mishra17 Thank you! Would love to know — what Vowel feature do you like the most?
Ben
@shubham_mishra17 Thanks for your support!
Shubham Mishra
@erin_letson1 I loved the Clip Feature most as its hassle free to just clip it easily and also to make notes.
Josh Sorenson
I have used Vowel with a team of 50+ 100% remote workers for a few months. We LOVE Vowel, one of those products you don't have to think about. It's quick, reliable, and easy to use. We use it for all internal calls as well as any calls with customers. The ability to record audio and video and a transcript are great for accountability for our team. It lets us see what our team told a customer if we forget. I do onboarding calls with our new employees, and everyone can jump in. We also randomly do nonrecorded hangouts during the day, which is a lot of fun for a fully remote team like ours. Whenever I join a call on a platform like Webex or zoom, I cringe, but Vowel makes it so easy to hop on the call from any browser. No need to download anything. A few people on my team even joke that we need to show the other companies the light by telling them where we will be meeting. We used Whereby before finding Vowel, but we tried Vowel and never looked back.
Kat Bacon
@joshsorenson We love having you as a Vowel customer!!
Andy Berman
@joshsorenson @kat_bacon Couldn't agree more. Your feedback is invaluable!
Erin Letson
@joshsorenson Love hearing the onboarding use case! It's so useful to revisit and reuse those calls as new folks join the team.
Josh Sorenson
@erin_letson1 For sure! It's nice too because it can save the person embarrassment if they need to review something. But still keeps the live element in it as we setup things to make sure they are working for them.
Ziming Yang
@erin_letson1 @joshsorenson That's exactly what we're thinking. Pumped to have you with us!
Jenny Zhai
This looks like a great PM tool, can see it saving so much time - congrats on the launch!
Andy Berman
@jenny_zhai Product, Eng and Design are our core use cases. Would love for you to check it out.
Kat Bacon
@jenny_zhai It is! We have a lot of PMs using Vowel. Vowel helps them stay on top of who is responsible for specific action items after meetings and they can look back on decisions that were made in past meetings with our global search. Can't wait for you to see how it helps you too.
Erin Letson
@jenny_zhai Thanks for your comment! We wrote a tweet thread about how Vowel helps PMs here https://twitter.com/VowelHQ/stat...
Ziming Yang
@jenny_zhai Thanks! Give Vowel a spin, and let us know if we're solving your meeting pain and how we can do it better.
Aleksandra Dziewulska
The best video conferencing software out there, just the right feature to talk, record and transcribe meetings - you can focus on talking only, rest is done by Vowel. Zoom is too much, Google Meet not enough, rest out there is corporate software (mord for robots then humans), where Vowel enables human communication perfectly.
Andy Berman
@alexdziewulska We're trying our best to create a new category, software built for 2022 not 2010. Really appreciate your kind words and support!
Kat Bacon
@alexdziewulska Thank you for your support!
Andrew Kordampalos
@alexdziewulska The way I mostly describe it to people is Zoom and Meet built for video conferencing and they are being used for meeting. Vowel built as a meeting tool from the ground up. Thanks for your support!
Paul Fisher
@alexdziewulska Thank you so much for the excellent feedback! Enabling human communication and collaboration is a key part of our mission at Vowel!
Franziska Kroll
Really cool idea, congrats! I wonder how well the transcription supports different languages and how it does with stronger accents. Any experiences so far?
Andy Berman
@franziska_kroll yup! We support almost 20 different languages now with more coming!
Kat Bacon
Erin Letson
@franziska_kroll What language are you looking to transcribe in?
Franziska Kroll
@erin_letson1 in English mainly but as our team is very international we have many different accents some stronger than others
Anna Marie Clifton
@erin_letson1 @franziska_kroll Ah, I see. You're asking about how well we transcribe english with other accents? We have an international team as well! We have folks from 11 different countries on the team and we all use the transcription EVERY DAY to power so much goodness. I find that it's slightly less accurate with some accents, but overall VERY accurate and easy to quickly search and hop RIGHT BACK to a key moment you're trying to remember.
David Hornik
Amazing platform to make hybrid teams work together more successfully.
Andrew Kordampalos
@david_hornik Thanks for all your support!
Michał
Thank you @david_hornik
Ramil Azucena
@david_hornik it's truly a game changer. Happy to be on this journey together.
Anna Marie Clifton
@david_hornik Thanks, David!
Andy Berman
@david_hornik We couldn't have done it without you! Thank you for everything!
Alex
Must have for every online meeting! Congratulations folks 🥳 Can’t wait to try this one out
Hilal Aydın
Sharing a clip of a meeting is really a feature I need that I haven't notice until I saw Vowel. Vowel seems like a practical video conferencing tool that will enhance team collaboration. Congratulations on your launch! 🚀
Andy Berman
@hilal_aydin Thanks so much! Let us know your feedback.
Kat Bacon
@hilal_aydin @andrew_berman Thank you!! Clips are such a great way to share only the specific meeting moments that someone needs to see. More often than not people don't need to watch an entire meeting, they only need to see a snippet of what's relevant to them.
Erin Letson
@hilal_aydin Yes! Love being able to make clips right in Vowel, no add-ons needed!
Brad Davis
Congrats on the launch. I love that transcription is included, and the universal search will be so helpful.
Andy Berman
@brad_davis2 Thanks for the support. Would love to hear your feedback after you use the product.
Anna Marie Clifton
@brad_davis2 Thanks, Brad! Universal search is a GAME changer for me. I can't imagine going back to a world without it. Searching for random ideas I had, or a decision we made that I need the details for! Drop us a line if you ever had feedback or feature requests!
Erin Letson
@brad_davis2 Thanks for your comment! We really believe in the power of built-in transcription — it's so much easier and more useful than Zoom plus an add-on transcription tool.
Paul Fisher
@brad_davis2 completely agree! Being able to search actors all of your meetings really opens doors!
Abhishek Singh

Andy Berman

Kat Bacon
@florin_biro That's what we love to hear! Who doesn't want to save time?!
Erin Letson
@florin_biro Love to hear it! Do you find recording and transcribing meetings helpful?
Andrew Kordampalos
@florin_biro Not only a time save but a quality booster, trains you to have better meeting. You will love it! Thanks for the support.
Brittany Joiner {Britt the Builder}
I love this. Going to share with my team as we have folks all over the world and watching recorded zoom meetings just aren't the same. I like the idea of being able to search through the video and also share snippets from the meeting (that could be great for documentation too). I have a question though about the pricing - i see that you can host up to 12 participants per meeting, so what is a "member"? For instance, would each person on my team need an account? Or just the ones that host the meetings?
Brittany Joiner {Britt the Builder}
I also just realized this could probably be really cool for my clients when i do consulting.... that way if they have questions again after a call, they don't have to watch the whole thing but can search through. Do they need to also be paying users to be able to access the recordings after the meeting?
Kat Bacon
@britt_joiner Meeting limits are based on the pricing plan you choose https://www.vowel.com/pricing/ If you are on the Free plan it's up to 12 and that includes members and guests. You can see more about the difference between a workspace member and a guest here: https://help.vowel.com/en/articl... Guests can search within a single meeting that they have been in, members can search across multiple meetings since they have access to the entire workspace. Send us an email at support@vowel.com if you want to chat more :)
Andy Berman
@britt_joiner @kat_bacon Thanks for feedback. We'd love to have you using Vowel!
Anna Marie Clifton
@britt_joiner Just to add in here, we don't require that guests have a paid account. As soon as the meeting ends, we'll send them a copy of the meeting (recording, transcript, and notes) so they can reference what happened on the call and not have to poke you so much to follow up ;)
Ayesha Awan
Your product is fantastic! It has helped me 10x the value of my meetings. The new mobile app is great too. Keep up the good work!
Andy Berman
@ayesha_awan1 Thanks! We appreciate it!
Anna Marie Clifton
@ayesha_awan1 Thanks Ayesha, appreciate it. Let us know if you have any questions.
Ramil Azucena
@ayesha_awan1 thank you!
Paul Fisher
@ayesha_awan1 wow! It’s inspiring to hear this! Dramatically increasing the value of your meetings is what Vowel is all about!
Dávid Sipos
Waoo great launch! What was your launch strategy? Great product! Congrats
Ziming Yang
@david_sipos Thanks David! Our approach is 1) solve real meeting pain points for our customers 2) tell others through PH and other channels about how we do it. Still lots of room to get better and better in the future of work though - so we talk with our friends about how to do that too: https://www.vowel.com/blog/futur...
Erin Letson
@david_sipos Our strategy involves investing in great creative that can be used beyond the launch (like our new video!) and doing outreach to our community and customer base before and during the launch. We also keep our team up to date so they can reach out to people in their networks — the network effect is real! Twitter has also been a great channel for amplifying the launch message.
Dávid Sipos
@erin_letson1 Thank you for your answer! Feel free to promote in our PH LinkedIn group: https://shorturl.at/ghq67
Andy Berman
@david_sipos @zimingyang I couldn't agree more with what Ziming said. Our goal is to make meetings 10x better, and grow through our user base. Let us know any feedback!
Paul Fisher
@david_sipos @zimingyang couldn’t have said it better!
