Howdy is a voice chat app designed to make staying in touch with your favorite people faster and more personal. Just talk naturally and Howdy will send both the audio and high-quality transcript so friends can either listen or read.
This is great, I get dozens of messages a day though my instagram and typing a reply to everyone is tedious so I just to voice messages. The downside is that while it's easier for me it is much slower for them. This should be integrated into every app with messaging. Have you considered offering this as an API in someway so that other apps can integrate it in some way?
@simon_barker1 it's an interesting thought. We've looked at possible API integrations for iMessage & Telegram in particular but most of the platforms we've seen don't allow for microphone access from a plug-in or extension so we are looking at other ways we can cross-integrate effectively. If you have any thoughts on this, would love to hear!
Neat idea! There's always those moments where you can't listen to a voice note for whatever reason and this definitely solves that. However where do you think Howdy fits into the spectrum of existing chat apps?
@jamesstirrat it's a good question. I think of this as the beginning of an exploration for a tool to help you maintain and deepen your closest relationships and to provide a "voice first" experience.

Great UI and really like the idea of a personal touch to texts, nice upgrade to the classic voice memos. Congrats on the launch 🚀
Hey @dweekly & @annawestern , found this really interesting & profound, will try this for sure & would also recommend it to others as well. Congratulations on the launch... ;D
@mim_o_flynn yep, that is the challenge. But we're hoping you check it out and see how much better an experience it is. It's worth downloading a new app if it makes your life easier! And then it becomes easier to convince friends. :)
Hi, everyone! Our team built this app to make it super easy to send convenient but intimate messages to friends and family. Status updates let us know what's going on with others but don't make us feel any closer; text messages are helpful but sometimes we want to hear _how_ someone said something.
We put state of the art transcription in a very straightforward messaging app to be able to share your voice *and* a high-quality, punctuated transcript (WAAAY better than Siri!) with friends and family for quick on-the-go composition. Recipients then have a choice whether to listen, read, or both.
(We're the same team that built Medcorder, the top app for patients to use to record, medically transcribe, and share medical encounters with loved ones.)
