🚀 I’m Shae, building SmartVoiceNotes — my answer to the chaos of messy transcripts

I’m Shae, and I’ve gone all-in on building SmartVoiceNotes — because I hit a wall with how useless transcription tools actually are.

Here’s the story.

For years, I’d rely on voice memos, meeting recordings, and call transcripts to capture important thoughts. On paper, it sounds like productivity magic: just hit record and let the tool do the rest.

But the reality? Brutal.

• Transcriptions came back as a wall of filler text, with every “umm,” half-sentence, and awkward pause faithfully included.

• The cleanup process took longer than just writing notes by hand.

• And worst of all, I noticed how much I was missing in real time — because our brains simply can’t listen and take notes effectively. Cognitive studies show comprehension drops off a cliff when we multitask like that.

That was my breaking point. If existing tools weren’t helping me, maybe they weren’t helping anyone. So I decided to build something better.

Enter SmartVoiceNotes:

🎙 Record anything — meetings, brainstorms, random 2AM ideas.
🧠 AI turns it into structured notes, crisp summaries, and clear action items.
⚡ Export to Slack, Notion, email, or wherever you actually get work done.

No more sifting through bloated transcripts. No more productivity theater. Just clarity.

I just posted the first demo, and honestly — even in this early version — it feels like having a personal Chief of Staff in my pocket.

This is my first Product Hunt cycle. I’m nervous, but also excited to build in public here. Every signup, every comment, every critique matters. Early supporters on the waitlist will also help shape features (and yes, there will be perks for you).

So here’s my ask: if you’re tired of messy transcripts too, give SmartVoiceNotes a look. Tell me what resonates, what’s missing, and what would make this indispensable for you.

Let’s kill the messy transcript once and for all — and finally make our notes work for us, not against us.
