Howdy - Voice chat that's faster and more personal

Hey @dweekly That is such a great idea, it is so user friendly Very good concept, congratulations for your launch

Wow! This is something new I came across today. Congratulations!

Congrats for the launch! ?makers

I really love this, as I prefer this over text messaging!! Congrats on your launch!

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.)

I just have to say, I'm so excited to be working on Howdy! 🤠 One of the few positive side-benefits of the pandemic for me was starting to stay in better touch with my extended family over text rather than social media. However typing on a phone keyboard was so slow, and talk-to-text never really worked. I wanted a way to make staying in touch a fast and easy part of my day. To just tap a button, speak naturally and get a high quality transcript, and as an added benefit, be able to listen and hear the recording if I so choose. I remember the first few times David and I were able to successfully message each other outside of work and how easy and magical it felt to hear from him. It felt like we were onto something special. ✨ So I'm really excited to be sharing this app more widely today for more people to experience. And on a personal note, I'm grateful for how this has helped me stay closer to my favorite people and foster those connections in just a few moments each day. I really hope it can do that for more people. If I've learned anything from the isolation of the last couple years, it's how valuable our personal connections are. It's what gives us the most real joy in our every day, and after everything we've been through, it's more important than ever to cultivate and appreciate those. So I hope you give it a try and say howdy to someone special to you today! ❤️

Finally something for metaverse

voice chat apps are blossoming since the pandemic!

Great idea - would love if it can integrate with an existing app, as I can't see my friends downloading another message app :)
