VoiceLine - Work with voice, anywhere, no typing, no meetings

Love the combination of voice and text. Going to try it :) Congratulations @nicolas_hoflinger1 @fantivecreations

Thank you for hunting us @kevin 🙌 Hi Product Hunt! Nico here, Co-Founder of VoiceLine. I’m beyond excited to share VoiceLine for Chrome with the PH community today after months of incredibly hard work from each one of our small but mighty team 🫶. I am also still thrilled by the vast amount of feedback we got from the 200+ companies that supported us in our closed beta. 🙏 We started building VoiceLine early in the pandemic based on the profound believe that the way we communicate at work needs an upgrade. I personally had the chance to work with a multitude of companies, industries and teams during my time in management consulting. While projects changed, the amount of time and flexibility we lost in meetings or written communication stayed the same, pushing quality work to the ‘premium hours’ at night, early mornings and weekends that are better spent doing other things. A core reason for this is, that at work, we still rely heavily on synchronous or text-based modes of interaction as they are often the only option to exchange information. This ends up wasting insane amounts of time for the 1bn knowledge workers around the globe every day. Alternatives are needed that are the simpler option to setting up a meeting, picking up the phone or writing an email/instant message. People are lazy after all (in a good way)! ✌️ Voice messages offer a solution by being fast, personal and async. But there are a few shortcomings to voice messages, including: - Audio files are a black box if you are not listening to them - Voice messages tend to be too long and unstructured - Audio is not searchable and can’t be referenced - Voice messages are locked in silos of messenger apps With VoiceLine, we are applying AI and UX in two main areas to crack the case of voice in business. That means: 1. You can finally send receiver friendly voice messages: our messages combine voice and text so the receiver is not forced to listen 2. We built it as a layer, not a silo: You can use VoiceLine anywhere you already work by using our Chrome extension. VoiceLine works with HubSpot, GSuite, MS Office, Jira, Trello, Notion, Slack, Teams, Figma and really any application you can open in Chrome. To make sure you have full control of all your async notifications in one place, we built the VoiceLine Hub to give you an instant overview of every VoiceLine you’ve sent or received. There are many ways you can use VoiceLine, whether it’s giving more meaningful input when you’re working remotely, accelerating documentation in your CRM, quickly dropping debriefs, capturing ideas and tasks on the go, or replacing meetings entirely. We’ll keep adding new features and use cases in the future, but for now, we would love to get your feedback. THANK YOU 🖖

Dear fellow voice-enthusiasts, productivity lovers and tired office workers 🙂 I’m extremely excited to launch voiceline on an international stage today, and super grateful for our early supporters whose feedback made this launch possible. From my perspective, VoiceLine was always about solving two critical pillars of future communication: 💬 I’m a firm async first believer, yet in order to bring voice to work, we had to introduce a new category of communication first. Joining voice and text is not a novel idea, but forging the most intuitive, productive and joyful medium for everyday work communication was and continues to be a huge challenge. I hope we hit the spot and am eagerly awaiting your thoughts!! 🤩 🖼 Our challenge didn’t stop here though, making VoiceLines accessible in every day’s work means having VoiceLine only the tap of a button away, regardless of the tools you’re in. Such a ubiquitous and horizontal solution is incredibly hard to lift with a tiny team. Facing a radical shift of work tools being moved to the browser, we felt a Chrome Extension is the most accessible plug-and-play solution we can offer to our users while covering the biggest share of workflows. Thus, we not only had to build a novel communication medium, but also a tool-agnostic messaging application. Together with the brightest designers and engineers, I’m super happy to share today the first blink of our vision 💫 My favourite part about VoiceLine? The endless possibilities it integrates and the workflows it enables. Can’t wait to see what this incredible community will come up with! 💡

🖖 😉

Finally the Chrome extension is here 😍

Looks clean and simple design! Congrats on your launch.

This is super slick @nicolas_hoflinger1 ! Going to download and try it out. I can see it being even more valuable for fully remote teams like ours at SmartCue ! More power to you!

Really cool tool. Just commented on a long PowerPoint, was done in a few minutes rather than typing for ages. Transcribing works super nice!

I believe voiceline will be a great new way on how to collaborate and share information within organizations.

Way to go, guys, congrats! 🚀🚀 I use VoiceLine due to three main advantages: 1. It allows me to capture and flesh out thoughts much faster. 2. It allows me to use voice messages across every single tool! 3. It allows me to communicate naturally while respecting the time of the people receiving my VoiceLines. Thanks to VoiceLine, I can finally send voice messages at work without regret! These are my main advantages. What would yours be? No matter if you hate or love voice messages, check out the VoiceLine website. I promise you will be in for a mindblowing surprise! 🖖🏾

Congrats, good luck 🚀 If you need some help with the logo and brand identity, feel free to contact me!

Finally an awesome voice messaging tool! Simply love it!

I got to admit that I was skeptical before looking at your video, because I never really felt like voice could be a great help with working, especially due to the fact that it's hard to track things. But the async way you handle it + the transcript changed my mind. This is a really innovative approach, I'm eager to give it a try! At this point the only thing that mildly "annoys" me, is the color choice of Voiceline's graphic charter, particularly the yellow. But this is just a personal feeling of course.

Congratulations on the launch!

Great idea to bring voice into the business world. Love the execution!

I've already tried it: awesome!! Congrats to the entire Voiceline team for building such an innovative product! Enabling completely new and more efficient workflows that are desperately needed in our hybrid office envrionment!

Absolutely amazing, congrats on the launch @nicolas_hoflinger1 and team 🙌 Will try it out right away. The main point for me will be how well the recorded voice will translate into text (without the need for editing), but from your video it seemed to work really well 👌 Keep it up!

It's such a fresh concept! Because there's always something missing either with text only or audio only. You are bringing the best of both worlds :) Congrats! 👏

It's really awesome, great tool！Congratulations!
