Hey Product Hunt
I'm really excited to share early access to Cassette, just for the Product Hunt community.
Cassette is the best way for designers to record & share user interviews. With almost no overhead, you can record, transcribe, and bookmark key moments in user interviews – and share it all with your team.
The app was designed by designers from Stanford d.school and UCLA Cognitive Science in collaboration with David Kelley (cofounder of IDEO and d.school). The team has worked together in the past to build Funder (https://www.producthunt.com/tech...).
We are passionate about helping people become more creative. Cassette is designed with a lot of clever scaffolding to help rookie designers become better at their craft. It's also a powerful tool that lets expert designers focus on interviewing and not have to worry about notetaking.
We hope that this allows designers to get out of the building more often and talk to real users instead of having to worry about scheduling with a notetaker.
NOTE: If you mention PH in your invite request, we'll bump you to the top!
Can't wait to hear your thoughts,
Angad

@preetangad Hey, Angad – congrats. It looks like a well-executed app that could help many speed up their participatory research workflows!
Many including ethnographers, who might be another audience you want to target in the future.
As an aside: who's your biggest competitor in this space, do you think? LiveScribe pens afford a related (but different) functionality – are they it?

@preetangad Angad I'm assuming this will launch for iOS? Seems that many here are just excited about the idea of voice transcription in an app on their phone...

@joshmuccio @preetangad We'll be starting with iOS, with web sharing and collaboration on any device.
For us, the idea of voice transcription on a phone is exciting because it allows designers to finally get the most from the impromptu conversations – in coffee shops, casual meetings, out in the world – that make up so much of user research.

@ryanjamurphy Hey Ryan, thanks for the compliment!
Definitely think it could be interesting for other audiences as well.
As for competitors, there are tons of different categories of notetaking and audio recording apps. However, in our experience, most designers are still using paper notebooks or the default voice memos app so that's who we're competing with. The benefits are obvious so hopefully enough people will find it compelling enough to switch :)

@preetangad this is pretty cool. I can definitely see it helping with notes, however when doing customer interviews I don't want to leave the notebook out.
