It's really interesting, as I get voice messages on the iPhone (from missed calls), iOS transcribes it for me, and it does usually contain a lot of mistakes. But I get the gist of the message, and I don't mind the mistakes. So I wonder if it's the same thing with the idea behind Peppermint, but for email and Sms?
@elbahnasy Hi Iz I think it's pretty similar in that way. It's also a reason why it might be harder for us to get traction on the iPhone.
I think that sending voice via emails with automatic transcription is a huge behavior change but it makes sense. It definitely saves a lot of time for longer emails, unless you can are super-fast typist and type as fast as you can speak!
Ideally we could transcribe the message and get all the words correct and punctuation, but that's going to take a while before it is possible.
Peppermint is demoing at Product Hunt Sydney tonight. Rob has spent the past few months solving the problem of "typing overload". The solution is a multi-platform voice messaging app, with transcription. It makes sending messages fast. You pick up your phone, select a contact, send an audio message. The recipient receives it in both audio and text. You can choose to send the message to a recipient's email or sms. What I like about this app is that there are no invitations involved, it just used your contacts. They can then reply with audio, using Peppermint it they choose to do so. Pretty neat, and I love the name :) The app comes on multiple platforms, iOS, Android, Chrome, Windows, Mac.

This is so cool, I havent seen anyone that has their act together across so many platforms at launch and when I tested it on Chrome it just worked. So cool.

i'd like to sign up for this on the landing page but it doesn't think either of my email addresses (firstname@placeofwork.com) are valid email addresses :( I lack validation
